Programming an Event

You can follow the numbered steps on the programmer, but you should 
familiarize your self with the instructions below before you program an 
event for the first time.

Note: After programming your event, your VCR and cable converter (or
      satellite receiver) must be turned off for the programmer to record
      your program.

To program an event, perform the following steps in sequence.  Pausing 
longer than 30 seconds between steps exits programming.

Note: If you accidentally press the wrong key in a sequence, INVALID
      appears.  Simply press the correct key and the sequence continues
      uninterrupted.

1.  Press UNLOCK once to access the record mode.  The current day, time
    and the last programmed event appear.

    Note: If no event has ever been programmed, the default day and time
          (SUNDAY, 12:00 A.M.), RECORD LENGTH =30, and CHANNEL =0 appears.

2.  Repeatedly press DAY to set the day of the week, or hold it down to
    scroll quickly.  You can choose any day of the week, or choose M-F for
    a show that airs every weekday at the same time (a soap opera, for
    example).

3.  Repeatedly press HOUR +/- to set the hour, or hold down either key to
    scroll.

    Note: Be sure the hour you select correlates to AM or PM.

4.  Repeatedly press MINUTE +/- to set the minute, or hold down either key
    to scroll.

5.  Repeatedly press RECORD LENGTH to select the length of the program you
    want to record (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 minutes).

    Choose CR for continuous recording (the unit will record until the
    tape runs out).

6.  Depending on which devices you set up, perform one of the following
    instructions:

    If you set up both your VCR and cable converter (or satellite
    receiver), repeatedly press CBL/SAT +/-, or hold it down to scroll
    through the channels.

    If you set up only your VCR, repeatedly press VCR +/-, or hold it down
    to scroll through the channels.

7.  Press LOCK to save your settings.  P appears.

    SUCCESS, EXIT SETUP, and the current day and time appear.  The display
    turns off to conserve battery life.

8.  Press LOCK again to activate the programmer for recording.  The
    recording information you programmed appears.

Note: To check programming status, press any key except CANCEL.  The day,
      time, channel, record length of your programmed event, and P appear,
      indicating a programmed event.  The display then turns off to
      conserve battery life.

Disabling an Event

Should you decide not to record an event, you can temporarily disable the 
event programming. For example, if you will be home to watch your favorite 
show, but next week, you will want to record it again.

1.  Press CANCEL.  The current day and time and P appear, to indicate your
    event is still programmed.  The display then turns off to conserve
    battery life.

2.  The next time you want to tape the show, press LOCK to enable the
    event. The day, time, channel, record length of your programmed event,
    and P appear, indicating an event has been programmed.  The display
    then turns off to conserve battery life.

Cancelling an Event

Before you can program a new event, you must first cancel the previously 
programmed event.

1.  Press UNLOCK.  The day, time, record length and channel for the show
    you previously programmed, and P appear.

2.  Press CANCEL.  The current day and time appear and the display turns
    off to conserve battery life.

3.  Press UNLOCK to program a new event.
