3-IN-1 Pocket Remote Control (15-1990) Troubleshooting Faxback Doc. # 56067 If You Have Problems Manual Code Search If the 3-in-One Pocket 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" in Faxback Doc. # 56066 for the brand of your device, or you can follow these steps to search the remote control's entire library. 1. Manually turn on the device you want to set up. 2. Press the corresponding device key (TV, VCR, or CBL). 3. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press MUTE, MUTE, then VOL -. The red light blinks twice again. 4. Aim the remote control at the device you want to operate. 5. Repeatedly press POWER then the device key until the device turns off. 6. When the device turns off, press P within 10 seconds to save the code. Note: If you do not press P within 10 seconds, the remote control does not save the code. Because the remote control'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. Note: If your VCR's original remote does not have a power key, manually turn on the device, insert a tape, and repeat Steps 1 - 6, using PLAY instead of POWER. When the device responds, press P. The red light blinks twice. Determining the 4-Digit Code After you set up your remote control using the manual code search, you can find which 4-digit code the remote control is set to by following these steps. 1. Press the device key (TV, VCR, or CBL) you want to get the manufacturer's code from, then hold down P until the red light blinks twice. 2. Press MUTE, MUTE, then VOL +. The red light blinks twice again. 3. Press VOL +, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the first digit of the 4-digit code. Note: If the red light does not blink, the digit is a 0. 4. Press VOL -, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the second digit of the 4-digit code. 5. Press CH +, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the third digit of the 4-digit code. 6. Press CH -, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the fourth digit of the 4-digit code. Troubleshooting If the remote control stops working after you have successfully tested the control for each device, or if you are unable to get the remote control to work at all, check the following: Be sure you press the device key for the device you want to control before you press any other key. Confirm that your remote controlled devices are working properly by using the original remote control or the manual controls. If some keys do not function, try a different device code. If some keys do not function for your device, you might be able to find a better device code. Call 1-888-284-8735 for technical support. (EB 7/27/99) (EB - Rev. 1/11/00)
