Light-Up Remote (15-1911) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 15935
HOW THE LIGHT-UP WORKS
Before you begin to use the LIGHT-UP, it is helpful to understand a little
about how it works - nothing technical - only an idea of what you can
expect from the LIGHT-UP.
After you set up the LIGHT-UP, its command keys work like the keys on your
original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly. For
example, a key on your original remote control labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the LIGHT-UP's POWER key.
NOTES: Whenever you use the LIGHT-UP's RECORD key, you must press it
twice. This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally
erasing audio or video tapes.
Use the P (Program) key when you set up the LIGHT-UP to replace
your original remote controls.
The TV, VCR, AUX, and CBL keys are device keys. You use them when
you set up the LIGHT-UP to replace your original remote controls.
You also use the device keys during normal operation to tell the
LIGHT-UP which device you want to control.
The B key, located above the device keys, performs the same
function as the A/B key on the cable remote control.
SETTING UP THE LIGHT-UP
Follow these steps to set up the LIGHT-UP.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover and install four fresh AAA
alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555), as indicated by the
illustration in the battery compartment. Then replace the cover.
NOTE: Do not place objects on top of the remote after you install the
batteries. This can press down keys and reduce battery life.
2. Refer to "Manufacturer's Codes" and write down the codes for the
original remote controls.
3. Press the device key for the remote you are replacing (TV, VCR, AUX<
or CBL).
4. Press down and hold P until the red indicator blinks twice. Release
P, then enter the 3-digit manufacturer's code.
For example, to replace a Panasonic TV's remote control (manufacturer
code 051), you would press: TV - P - 0 - 5 - 1
5. When the indicator blinks twice again, point the LIGHT-UP at the device
and press POWER. The device should turn on (or off, if it was on).
Repeat Steps 2-5 for additional devices.
NOTES: The punch-through feature is automatically turned on for the TV's
volume and mute controls. This means that when you select CBL and
press one of the volume buttons or the MUTE button, the remote
actually sends the codes to the television, and not the cable
converter. If you want to use the converter's volume and mute
controls, turn off the punch-through feature for these buttons.
See "Using Punch Through."
If the remote does not operate the device, try other codes listed
in "Manufacturer's Codes" for your brand of TV, VCR, cable
converter, or other devices.
If the device still does not respond, follow the steps outlined in
"If You Have Problems".
The red indicator at the top of the LIGHT-UP flashes twice when you
enter a code that it recognizes. (However this does not mean that
it is the right code for the device.)
When the LIGHT-UP's range decreases or the LIGHT-UP operates erratically,
replace the batteries.
CAUTION: Be sure to have the fresh batteries ready to install before you
remove the old batteries. The LIGHT-UP's memory only lasts about
a minute without the batteries. If the memory is lost, simply
re-enter the 3-digit manufacturer's codes for the original remote
controls.
