7-in-1 Remote Control with Lighted Keypad
(15-1924) Operation Faxback Doc. # 46323
1. Press the device key for the device you want to control, then point
the 7-in-1 at the device and press POWER (All Lts On)(or CHANNEL +
[On] for some cable converters) to turn the device on.
2. Repeat Step 1 for all other devices you want to operate.
3. Point the 7-in-1 toward the device you want to control, then press the
appropriate device key and the desired command keys.
Note: The command keys on the 7-in-1 work the same as the keys on the
original remote control; however the labeling might differ
slightly.
4. To turn off the last device you selected, press POWER (All Lts On). To
turn off other devices, press the device key for the device you want
to turn off, then press POWER (All Lts On).
Punch-Through
The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different
devices without pressing the device keys for each one. Here's how it
works.
Not all of the 7-in-1 Remote Control's keys are used by every device. For
example, a TV is often the only device that uses the volume keys. After
you press TV, then press VCR, you can still use the volume control to
control the TV.
Punch-through does not work when you are using the 7-in-1 to control CD
players and Plug'n Power devices.
Notes: The punch-through feature might not work if the last two devices
you selected have the same (or similar) features. For example,
most TVs and some cable converters have channel select keys on
their remote controls.
In this case, you must press the desired device key before you use
the remote control's CHANNEL + (On) or CHANNEL - (Off) keys.
If you selected AUX1 or AUX2, you can punch-through TV, VCR or CBL
if you have not programmed AUX1 or AUX2 as a TV, VCR or CBL device.
Using The 7-In-1's Timer
This feature lets you set your 7-in-1 to turn off your TV after 60 minutes
1. Press TIMER on the 7-in-1.
2. Within 15 seconds, press ENT on the 7-in-1. The red light blinks once.
Note: If you do not press ENT within 15 seconds the red light does not
blink. Start again from Step 1.
3. Leave the 7-in-1 pointing at the TV's infrared sensor. Make sure there
is nothing blocking the line of sight between the 7-in-1 and the TV.
To cancel the timer, hold down TIMER until the red light blinks once, or
press TV then press POWER (All Lts On).
Plug 'n Power Functions
The Plug 'n Power feature allows you to control lights and appliances with
an optional IR command console (RadioShack Unlimited No 10037703) or Plug

Teaching Commands To The 7-In-1
You can teach infrared commands from one or more original remote controls
to your 7-in-1 Remote Control, storing each command in one of the 7-in-1's
keys. This is handy if a preprogrammed manufacturer's code you selected
does not control all of your device's functions, or if none of the
manufacturers' codes work for your device.
You can teach the functions of as many as 3 original remote controls, with
as many as 50 keys each, to the 7-in-1.
Notes: Depending on how commands are stored in your original remote
control you might not be able to store all of the remote control's
commands into your 7-in-1.
You can store a command into any of the 7-in-1's keys except SET UP
LEARN, Plug 'n Power, TV, VCR, CBL, CD, AUX1, AUX2, SAT, SHIFT, ENT
and TIMER.
You can store a command in one of the 7-in-1's keys where you have
to press SHIFT then the key to activate the command. This lets you
store more commands.
Teaching A Command
IMPORTANT: Make sure there are fresh batteries in both the 7-in-1 and the
original remote control before following the steps in this
section.
HINT: Program only one or two of your original remote control's commands
into the 7-in-1 at a time using the steps in this section, then try
those commands before programming more commands.
Follow these steps to teach a command from another remote control to one
of your 7-in-1's keys.
1. If this is the first time you are teaching a command to your 7-in-1,
follow the steps in "Clearing All Commands", below.
2. Position the 7-in-1 and the original remote control about 1 or 2
inches apart, so the 7-in-1's infrared eye is pointing at the original
remote control's infrared eye. Make sure there is nothing blocking
the line of sight between the two.
3. Hold down SET UP on the 7-in-1 for the device you want to control. The
red light blinks.
4. Press the device key on the 7-in-1 for the device you want to control.
The red light blinks.
5. Press LEARN on the 7-in-1.
6. Within 15 seconds, press the key on the 7-in-1 that you want to
program. For example, if you want to program the PLAY command from a
VCR's original remote control, press PLAY on the 7-in-1.
If the key you want to program is already used for another command,
press SHIFT before pressing the key. For example, to store the command
SHIFT-PLAY, press SHIFT then PLAY on the 7-in-1.
7. On the original remote control, hold down the key that you want your
7-in-1 to learn until the red light on the 7-in-1 blinks once.
Note: If the command was not programmed properly, the red light blinks
for about 3 seconds then turns off. If this happens, repeat
Steps 4-7.
8. Repeat Steps 1-7 to store more commands.
9. When you finish, press ENT on the 7-in-1 to save all stored commands.
Note: If you do not press a key within 15 seconds, the red light blinks
for about 3 seconds then turns off. Begin again from Step 1.
Clearing All Commands
1. Hold down SET UP on the 7-in-1 until the red light above (light bulb
symbol) turns on.
2. Press the device key on the 7-in-1 for which you want to clear all
commands. The red light flashes for a few seconds.
3. Press LEARN on the 7-in-1 twice. The red light flashes for a few
seconds.
4. Press SET UP on the 7-in-1. After a few seconds, the red light flashes
then turns off.
If You Have Problems
Manual Code Search
If the 7-in-1 Remote Control does not operate your remote controlled
devices when you first set it up, you might have to manually find the
correct code for your devices. You can try all the codes listed in
"Manufacturers' Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46325 for the brand of your
device, or you can follow these steps to search the 7-in-1's entire
library.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to set up.
2. Hold down SET UP on the 7-in-1 until the red light above (light bulb
symbol) turns on.
3. Press the corresponding device key on your 7-in-1 Remote Control (TV,
VCR, CBL, CD, and so on). Or, to search all the codes available to
AUX1 or AUX2 to control a device, press AUX1 or AUX2 then the
corresponding device key. The red light blinks once.
4. Aim the 7-in-1 Remote Control at the device you want to operate.
5. Repeatedly press On (CHANNEL + [On]), PLAY, or POWER (All Lts On)
until the device responds to the command.
6. When the device responds to the command, press ENT within 5 seconds
to save the code.
Notes: If you accidentally overshoot the correct code, repeatedly
press LAST then On (CHANNEL + [On]), PLAY or POWER (All Lts On)
on the 7-in-1 to move back through the codes until the device
responds to the command.
If you do not press ENT within 5 seconds, the 7-in-1 does not
save the code.
Because the 7-in-1's library has so many codes, this procedure
can take several minutes.
If your device turns off during the search, but does not
operate after you lock in the code, begin the search again,
pausing longer between key presses.
If necessary, repeat these steps for each device.
Determining The 3-Digit Code
After you set up your 7-in-1 Remote Control using manual code search,
you can find which 3-digit code the 7-in-1 Remote Control is set to by
following these steps.
1. Press and hold SET UP until the red light above (light bulb symbol)
turns on.
2. Press the device key you want to get the manufacturer's code from.
The red light blinks once then stays on.
3. Press SET UP. The red light blinks once then stays on.
4. Press 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9, waiting a few seconds after you press each
number before you press the next one.
If the red light blinks after you press a number, that number is the
first number of your 3-digit manufacturer's code.
5. Repeat step 4 twice to find the second and third numbers of your
3-digit manufacturer's code. After the red light blinks for the third
digit in the code, it turns off.
