7-in-1 Remote Control with Lighted Keypad (15-1924) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 46322 Installing Batteries You need four AAA batteries to power your remote control. We recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558. CAUTIONS: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. So not press any of the 7-in-1s keys while installing batteries. 1. Press the battery compartment cover's tab and lift off the cover. 2. Install four AAA alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked in the compartment. 3. Replace the cover. Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce battery life. When the 7-in-1 Remote Control's range decreases or it stops operating properly, replace the batteries. Note: Although the 7-in-1 has a built in memory backup, we recommend you have fresh batteries ready to install as soon as you remove the old ones. Lighting The Keys Press (light bulb symbol) to light the keys on the remote for about 5 seconds. If you press a key when the keys are lit, the keys stay lit for about 5 more seconds. To turn off the light before it automatically turns off, press (light bulb symbol) again. Device Types You can use the 7-in-1 Remote Control's device keys to control the following general types of devices: TV - TVs VCR - VCRs, TV/VCR combinations, laser disc players, cassette decks and digital audio tape decks. CBL - Cable converters, satellite receivers and video accessories. CD - CD players, amplifiers, tuners, receivers, and miscellaneous audio products. AUX1/AUX2 - TVs, VCRs, laser disc players, CD players, cassette decks, digital audio tape decks, cable converters, satellite receivers, Plug 'n Power devices, video accessories, amplifiers, tuners, receivers, and miscellaneous audio products. SAT - standard and direct-to-home satellite receivers. Plug 'n Power - Plug 'n Power or X-10 home automation devices. Note: You can also program AUX1 or AUX2 or an unused device key to control additional devices (see "Using Two or More Similar Devices" below). Setting Up Your 7-In-1 1. Refer to "Manufacturer's Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46325 and write down the codes for your original remote controls. Notes: Some manufacturers have several possible codes listed. Try each until you find the right one. See "If You Have Problems" on Faxback Doc. # 46323 if you cannot find the correct code. If you want to set up your 7-in-1 to control a combination TV/ VCR (such as Cat. No. 16-421 or 16-422) you must program the TV code for the TV functions and the VCR code for the VCR functions. 2. Press down SET UP until the red light above (light bulb symbol) turns on. Note: To exit the set up routine at any time, press SET UP again. The red light flashes several times. 3. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV, VCR CBL, CD or SAT). Note: If you do not press a device key within about 15 seconds the red light flashes for about 3 seconds then turns off. Start again from Step 2. 4. Enter the 3-digit code. For example to replace a TV's remote control (manufacturer's code 185) press: [S][E][T][U][P][-][T][V][-][1][-][8][-][5]. When the red light turns off, the 7-in-1 has accepted the code. Note: If the code you entered is invalid, the red light flashes for about 3 seconds then turns off. 5. Point the 7-in-1 Remote Control at your device and press POWER (All Lts On)(or CHANNEL + [On] for some cable boxes). Your device should turn off (or on, if it was off). If the remote control does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in the "Manufacturer's Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46325 for your brand of TV, VCR, cable converter or other device. 6. Repeat Steps 2 - 5 for additional devices. Using Two or More Similar Devices If you have two or more similar devices (two VCRs for example) and you have already programmed the 7-in-1 to control one of the devices using that device's key, you can program the AUX1 and AUX2 device keys or an unused device key to control the additional device. Follow these steps to program AUX1 or AUX2. 1. Repeat Step 1 and 2 under "Setting Up Your 7-in-1" above. 2. Press AUX1 or AUX2. 3. If you are replacing a CD's remote control, skip to Step 4. Otherwise, press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (VCR, CBL, TV, CD, Plug'n Power, or SAT.) Note: If you do not press a device key within about 15 seconds the red light flashes for about 3 seconds then turns off. Start again from Step 1. 4. Repeat Steps 4 - 6 under "Setting Up Your 7-in-1" above. To program an unused device key to control an additional device, choose an unused device key that controls a similar type of device (See "Device Types" above), then program it using the steps in "Setting Up Your 7-in-1" above.
