3-IN-1 Easy Remote Control (15-1916B) Features Faxback Doc. # 44687 Intorduciton Your Radio Shack 3 in 1 Easy Remote can replace up to three standard infra- red remote controls. Unlike some universal remote controls, the 3 in 1 is preprogrammed and does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls. All you have to do is tell the 3 in 1 which remote controls you want it to replace. After you've entered the manufacturer's codes for your original remotes, the 3 in 1 is automatically ready to operate most of the same functions as the original remotes. (This manual includes a list of manufacturers' codes for TVs, VCRs, and cable converters.) Your 3 in 1 remote has these features: Replaces Other Remotes - lets you replace up to three remote controls with one easy-to-use remote control. Powerful Infrared Beam - in many cases, lets you operate your remote-controlled devices from a greater distance than with the original remote controls. Convenient Keypad Design - places each control key in the best position for easy operation. Handy Reference Label - provides a convenient place for you to write down the manufac- turers' codes. Toll Free Support - you can get expert help for your 3 in 1 by calling 1-800-955-2599. NOTE: You need two AAA batteries (not supplied) to operate your 3 in 1 remote. How The 3 IN 1 Works Before you begin to use the 3 in 1, it is helpful to understand a little about how it works - nothing technical, only an idea of what you can expect from it. After you set up the 3 in 1, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly. For example, a key on your original remote control that might be labeled PWR ON/OFF is equivalent to the 3 in 1's PWR key. NOTES: P is a special key that you use when you set up (program) the 3 in 1 to replace your original remote controls. TV, VCR and CBL are device keys. You use them when you set up the 3 in 1 to replace your original remote controls. You also use the device keys during normal operation to tell the 3 in 1 which device you want to control. PWR (power), MUTE, and LAST (recall) operate the same as on your original remote control. Whenever you use the 3 in 1's RECORD key, you must press it twice. This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally erasing video tapes. (br/EB 10/13/97)
