Radio Shack 150-2114 Manual

Introduction
Thank you for buying a RadioShack Remote Control.
You can use your remote to replace a broken or lost
remote or combine the functions of two or more
remotes.
This remote control operates the common features of
most (but not all) models and brands of IR (Infrared)
controlled video equipment. This remote may support
functions that are not available on your device. Some
SAT
functions of your particular device (such as menu
functions) may not be controlled by this remote. In
such cases, use the original remote control for your
device.
Please use this manual to become familiar with your
remote, then install batteries and set up your remote for
your particular device and brand.

Battery Installation

1. Push down on the tab on the back of the remote and
lift off the cover.
2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the
battery case, then insert 4 AAA alkaline batteries.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote's range decreases or it does not
operate properly, replace the batteries. You have 2
minutes to change the batteries without losing codes
you have programmed. However, do not press any
buttons until batteries are installed. If buttons are
pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be
lost.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically times out if the buttons are
pressed more than 30 seconds. This will save your
batteries should your remote get stuck in a place (for
example, between sofa cushions) where the buttons
remain pressed.
