We hope that you are pleased with your new remote. Help is available at http://universalremotes.net. This will give you access to all the information you need to get started with your new remote including the device setup code database, button mappings, warranty information, and more.
Installing The Batteries
Your Inteset INT-422-3 remote control comes with 2 AA alkaline batteries.
Battery Use And Safety
- Replace with only fresh batteries.
- Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
- If you do not plan to use the remote for an extended period, remove the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.
To Install The Batteries
- Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the remote (slide the cover downward).
- Place the included AA batteries in the compartment ensuring that the positive and negative ends of the batteries match the symbols labeled on the remote.
- Replace the cover
Note: When the battery voltage is low, the red signal LED blinks 5 times after a button presses.
Programming Device Control
Before proceeding with programming, the Inteset remote, you should first find the remote setup codes for the A/V devices you own (up to four). You can find these codes easily by searching the Device Setup Codes database link at the bottom of the following page (search instructions are found on that website): http://universalremotes.net
Once you have the setup codes, it takes just a few minutes to configure the remote for your A/V devices. Note that if you own an AppleTV, Xbox One, Windows Media Center system, or Roku device, the setup codes for these devices are pre-programmed to the A, B, C, and D device mode buttons respectively on the remote. If you do not use one or any of these devices, you can overwrite the pre-programming with your own setup codes. Follow the steps below to program the remote to work with your devices:
-
Turn on the device (i.e.: your TV).
-
Press the Device key on the remote you wish to program (i.e.: A, B, C, or D).
-
Press and hold the SET button on the remote until the signal LED (red light) blinks twice, then release the button.
-
Enter the first five-digit setup code for the device (i.e.: TV) you found in the database search. The LED blinks once as each digit is entered. If the code is valid, the LED will blink twice quickly.
Note: If the LED does not blink twice after entering the five-digit code, repeat steps 2-4. -
Aim the remote at the device (i.e.: TV) and press the remote’s POWER button (top right corner). The device should turn off. If it does not, you should repeat steps 3-5, trying each code for your device’s brand until you find the one that works.
-
Repeat steps 1-5 for the other devices you want to control.
Most buttons on the remote are already intuitively labeled, but some, such as the Device mode buttons (i.e.: A, B, C, and D) will need labels. You can add the appropriate supplied sticker labels above the buttons on the remote to clarify the buttons’ function.
Searching For Your Device Setup Code
If in an unlikely situation, you cannot find a setup code match based on the above instructions, you can try searching the entire code database by cycling through all codes. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Turn on the device you wish to control (i.e.: TV).
- Press the desired Device mode button once.
- Press and hold the SET button until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
- Enter 9 9 1. The LED will blink twice.
- Press the device group number that corresponds to your device (i.e.: 0=cable boxes, 1=TVs, 2=DVDs, Blu-ray players, streaming, 3=audio equipment).
- Aim the remote at the device and press the POWER button. The remote will send the first IR code in its library for the power button within that device group.
- If the device does not respond, press the CH+ button and the remote will send the next code. Continue until the device shuts off (press CH- for the previous code).
- Once the device turns off, press the SET button to save the code to the selected device mode.
Obtaining The Remote’s Setup Codes
Sometimes it may be necessary to determine the device setup codes you are using on your remote. For example, if you purchase a new Inteset remote control for a different room with a similar A/V device setup. Follow the instructions below to obtain the device setup codes programmed on your remote:
-
Press the “A” device button once.
-
Press and hold the SET button until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
-
Enter 9 9 0. The LED blinks twice.
-
To determine the first digit of the code, press 1. Count the red LED blinks (i.e.: three blinks = 3) and make note of the number.
Note: If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink. -
Repeat step 4 for the remaining four digits of the setup code using 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third, 4 for the fourth, and 5 for the fifth setup code digit.
-
To determine other device setup codes programmed into the other Device buttons (B, C, and D), repeat steps 1-5, substituting the device button to check.
Learning Another Remote’s Buttons
You can learn the IR signal of each button on the remote that came with your A/V device. It may be necessary to program particular buttons on your Inteset remote this way if they are not available after applying the setup codes to the device buttons. Before learning a button, there are some considerations.
Learning Considerations
Your original remote control must be an IR-type remote (Infrared) and be in working order.
- Learned buttons are device-specific. So, for each button/device on your Inteset remote, you can learn a button from the original remote.
- The following buttons are not available for learning: Device, SET, or Record.
- Learning capacity is from 42 to 75 buttons depending on the IR code length of the buttons.
- Certain buttons are not learnable including multi or high-frequency types, and other odd formats.
- For optimal learning, avoid bright ambient light such as natural sunlight.
- When learning a button, press the original remote button quickly. Otherwise the Inteset remote may learn the IR code for the button twice.
Learning A Button
Note: If more than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the remote will exit programming mode.
-
Place the Inteset remote head-to-head (about 2” apart) from the training remote. Locate the button you want to learn on the training remote.
-
On the Inteset remote, press the Device mode button (i.e.: A, B, C, or D) on which you want to learn buttons from the training remote.
-
Press and hold the SET button until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
-
Enter 9 7 5. The LED will blink twice.
Note: If the LED displays one long flash instead, either the batteries are low, or the remote has a memory fault (i.e.: it is out of memory). In either case, the remote will not be able to learn any buttons. -
Press the button on the Inteset remote that you want to learn. The LED will start blinking rapidly, indicating it is ready to learn.
-
On the training remote, quickly press the button to be learned. The Inteset remote should blink twice indicating it has learned the button on the training remote.
Removing A Learned Button
This procedure returns the previously learned button to its originally programmed state for the selected mode. You can also overwrite learned buttons by retraining them as described in the previous
“Learning another Remote’s Buttons” section.
Note: If more than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the remote will exit programming mode.
- Press the Device mode button (i.e.: A, B, C, or D) for which you want to remove a learned button.
- Press and hold the SET button until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
- Enter 9 7 6. The LED will blink twice.
