How To Use The Remote After You've Programmed It - RCA Alert Guard 27V570T User Manual

Using the Remote Control
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the
component turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in
this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following
pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the
button isn't programmable.
5. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON•OFF to see if the component
responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and
then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your
brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code,
the remote is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD,
VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component
buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you would press
the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could control the TV.
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR1, VCR2, SAT•CABLE,
AUX) to set the remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong
mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to
operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR1 on the remote control to put the
remote in VCR mode.)
