HOW THE 3-IN-ONE WORKS

Your RadioShack 3-in-One Pocket Remote Control was designed to control the most commonly used functions on your TV, VCR, and cable converter. When you set up the remote control, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls. For example, the remote controls PWR key works like a key on your original remote control which might be labeled POWER ON/OFF. Key

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555. Cautions: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. Do not press any of the remote controls keys while installing batteries. Note: The remote controls built-in memory backup saves any programmed codes for about a minute after the batteries have been removed. We recommend you have fresh batteries ready to install as soon as you remove the old ones. 1. Press the battery compartment covers tab and lift off the cover.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside. 3. Replace the cover.
When the remote controls range decreases or it stops operating properly, replace the batteries.
15-1930.fm Page 6 Monday, July 19, 1999 1:09 PM
Cautions: Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce battery life.

DEVICE TYPES

You can use the remote controls device keys to control the following general types of devices:
TV TVs VCR VCRs and TV/VCR combinations CBL Cable converters
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
1. Refer to Manufacturers Codes on Page 12 and write down the codes for your original remote controls on the supplied label. Notes: Some manufacturers have several codes listed. Try each until you find the right one. See If You Have Problems on Page 10 if you cannot find the correct code. If you want to set up your remote control to control a combination TV/VCR (such as Cat.
15-1930.fm Page 7 Monday, July 19, 1999 1:09 PM
No. 16-421 or 16-422), you must program the TV code for the TV functions and the VCR code for the VCR functions. 2. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV, VCR, or CBL). The red light blinks. 3. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then enter the 4-digit code using the keys shown here:
Press CH VOL VOL CH To Enter This Number
For example, to replace a TVs remote control (manufacturers code 1433), press TV, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press CH , CH , VOL , and VOL. When the red light blinks twice, the remote control has accepted the code. Note: If the code you entered is invalid, the red light does not blink. 4. Point the remote control at your device and press PWR Your device should turn off (or on, if it was off). If the remote does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in Manufacturers Codes on Page 12 for your brand of TV, VCR, cable converter, or other device. 5. Repeat Steps 24 for additional devices.

15-1930.fm Page 8 Monday, July 19, 1999 1:09 PM

OPERATION

1. Press the device key for the device you want to control, then point the remote control at the device and press PWR to turn the device on. 2. Repeat Step 1 for all other devices you want to operate. 3. Point the remote control toward the device you want to control, then press the appropriate device key and the desired command keys. Note: The command keys on the remote control 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 PWR. To turn off other devices, press the device key for the device you want to turn off, then press PWR.

PUNCH-THROUGH

The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different devices without pressing the device keys for each one. Heres how it works. Not all of the remote controls 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. Note: 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.
15-1930.fm Page 9 Monday, July 19, 1999 1:09 PM
Turning Punch-Through Off/On
If your cable box or VCR has a volume control, you might want to turn off punch-through so you can use the cable boxs or VCRs volume control to control the sound. To turn off punch-through, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press CH , CH , and VOL. If you want to control the volume through your cable box, press CBL before using the volume control. If you want to control the volume through your VCR, press VCR before using the volume control. To turn punch-through back on, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press CH , CH , and VOL.

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 on Page 12 for the brand of your device, or you can follow these steps to search the remote controls 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 CH three times. The red light blinks twice again. 4. Aim the remote control at the device you want to operate. 5. Repeatedly press PWR then the device key for the device until it responds to the command. 6. When the device responds to the command, press P within 5 seconds to save the code. Note: If you do not press P within 5 seconds, the remote control does not save the code. Because the remote controls 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.

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 these things: Be sure you press the device key for the device you want to control before you press any other key. Confirm that your remote control devices are working properly by using the original remote control or the manual controls. Replace the batteries. If some keys do not function for your device, you might be able to find a better device code.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack 3-in-One Pocket Remote Control is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your remote control so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the remote control dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Handle the remote control gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the remote control to work improperly.
Use and store the remote control only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the remote control away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the remote control with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the remote control. Modifying or tampering with the remote controls internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate your remote controls warranty. If your remote control is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. Do not press any of the remote controls keys while installing batteries. Note: The remote controls built-in memory backup saves any programmed codes for about 10 minutes after the batteries have been removed. We recommend you have fresh batteries ready to install as soon as you remove the old ones. 1. Press the battery compartment covers tab and lift off the cover. 2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside. 3. Replace the cover. When the remote controls range decreases or it stops operating properly, replace the batteries. Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce battery life.

DEVICE TYPES

You can use the remote controls device keys to control the following general types of devices:
TV TVs VCR VCRs and TV/VCR combinations CBL Cable converters
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
1. Refer to Manufacturers Codes on Page 11 and write down the codes for your brand of device on the 3-in-Ones label. Note: Some manufacturers have several codes listed. Try each until you find the right one. See If You Have Problems on Page 27 if you cannot find the correct code. 2. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV, VCR, or CBL). The red light blinks.
15-1990.fm Page 7 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM
3. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then enter the 4-digit code you wrote down in Step 1 using these keys:
Press VOL + VOL CH + CH MUTE To Enter This Number
For example, to replace a TVs remote control (manufacturers code 1432), press TV, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press VOL +, CH , CH +, and VOL. When the red light blinks twice, the remote control has accepted the code. Note: If the code you entered is invalid, the red light blinks. 4. Point the remote control at your device and press POWER. Your device should turn off (or on, if it was off). If the remote does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in Manufacturers Codes on Page 11 for your brand of TV, VCR, TV/VCR combination, or cable converter. 5. Repeat Steps 24 for additional devices.

TO OPERATE YOUR TV/VCR COMBINATION
1. Locate the codes for your TV/VCR combination in TV/VCR Combinations on Page 25 and write down the codes for your brand of device on the 3-in-Ones label. 2. Press VCR. The red light blinks. 3. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then enter the 4-digit code you wrote down in Step 1 using these keys:
When the red light blinks twice, the remote control has accepted the code. Note: If the code you entered is invalid, the red light blinks. 4. Point the remote control at your TV/VCR combination and press POWER. Your device should turn off (or on, if it was off). If the remote does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in TV/VCR Combinations on Page 25 for your TV/VCR combination. Note: Some TV/VCR combinations require a second code to control volume. If you cannot get the volume to work, use the TV code listed in TV VCR Combinations. If no TV code is listed, follow the instructions in Punch-Through on Page 9 to control volume.

OPERATION

1. Press the device key for the device you want to control. 2. Point the remote control toward the device you want to control, then press the desired command keys. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all other devices you want to operate. Note: The command keys on the remote control 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. To turn off other devices, press the device key for the device you want to turn off, then press POWER.

PUNCH-THROUGH

The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different devices without pressing the device keys for each one. A TV is often the only device that uses the volume keys. Punch-through allows you to control the TVs volume while the 3-in-One is in any device mode. With punch-through on, if you press VCR and use your volume keys, the 3-in-One will control the TVs volume instead of the VCRs volume.
15-1990.fm Page 10 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM
Turning Punch-Through Off/On
If your cable converter or VCR has a volume control, you might want to turn off punch-through so you can use the cable converter or VCRs volume control to adjust the sound. To turn off punch-through, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press MUTE, MUTE, and CH. The red light blinks four times. Now, when you want to control the volume through your cable converter, press CBL before using the volume controls. If you want to control the volume through your VCR, press VCR before using the volume controls. To turn punch-through back on, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press MUTE, MUTE, and CH. The red light blinks twice.

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 on Page 11 for the brand of your device, or you can follow these steps to search the remote controls 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 controls 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.
15-1990.fm Page 28 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM
Note: If your VCRs original remote does not have a power key, manually turn on the device, insert a tape, and repeat Steps 16, 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 4digit code. 5. Press CH +, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the third digit of the 4digit code. 6. Press CH , then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is the fourth digit of the 4digit code.
