How Does A Universal Remote Control Work; Where Do I Start; Program The Remote - Cisco AT6400 User Manual

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
Your new AT6400 AllTouch Infrared (IR) Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal remote,
functioning as four remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to operate your Set Top
Box, your TV, and two other devices, such as a DVD player and VCR.
1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR REMOTE
Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set top box. Therefore, you must program
the remote to operate your TV, VCR, DVD, or other devices. See PROGRAM THE REMOTE TO
CONTROL MY DEVICES to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.
NOTE: You must use the IR remote within line of sight of the set top box to operate the set top box
correctly.

2. HOW DOES A UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL WORK?

You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the four keys arched across the
top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled STB (Set Top Box), TV, DVD, and AUX.
Each mode key is associated with a specific device. As an example, after programming the remote,
if you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other keys you press on the
remote, thereafter, should operate your TV. Want to switch the remote to operate a different device?
Just press the mode key for the next device you want to operate. In this guide, you will learn which
types of devices you can control and how to program the remote to control your specific devices.

3. WHERE DO I START?

Before you begin using your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.
INSTALL THE BATTERIES
The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery
compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When the batteries are
properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.
VISIT THE REMOTE CONTROL QUICK REFERENCE SECTION
Use the Remote Control Quick Reference section on Page 12 of this guide to familiarize yourself with
the remote and the functions of its various keys. Knowing the function and location of the keys on
the remote will assist you when you are programming the remote.

4. PROGRAM THE REMOTE

To learn how to program your remote, refer to the sections What Devices Can I Control, What Devices
Do I Want to Control, and Program The Remote To Control My Devices for further instructions.
