Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the
batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside
the battery compartment.
3 Press and push the battery cover back
into place.
Note: If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any keys after
you've taken the old batteries out. Pressing keys while replacing
batteries causes the remote to lose the components you've programmed.
You will need to program the remote again.
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-
cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or
dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.
Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.
Backlighting
Backlight illumination enables you to see the remote
control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination
is toggled on or off with successive keypresses of the
backlight key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on
as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off
six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time
has expired, any keypress will reactivate backlighting. If the
backlight illumination is on, and the backlight key is pressed,
the backlight turns off.
Illuminated ON•OFF Key
The ON•OFF key powers components on and off. It also
lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for
various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated
ON•OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns
off when the key is released. The ON•OFF key also blinks in
Programming Mode or in Menu Mode to provide feedback.
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
• Modifying or tampering with the remote's internal components
can cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
