Getting started – installing the Batteries

Note

Alkaline batteries are recommended. Use 2 „AA“ (LR 6/Mignon) type batteries.
Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of your URC (A).
Check the required battery polarity and insert batteries according to the “+/–” marks inside the compartment (B).
Close battery compartment lid (C).

Note: Code saver

This remote control saves the settings during battery change.

Note: Battery saving function

The remote control switches off automatically when a button is pressed down for more than 15 seconds. This conserves battery power if the remote control gets stuck in a position where the buttons are continually pressed down, such as between sofa cushions.

Setup

Note

To obtain a proper infrared (IR) transmission, allways point your Remote control in the approximate direction of the device you want to control.
No entry for approx. 30 seconds will time out the Setup mode. The LED indicator shows six flashes and turns off.
If you want to control a device , it´s not possible while the Universal Remote Control is in the Setup Mode. Exit the Setup mode and select the device you want to control using the device selection keys.

Direct Code Entry

Your Universal Remote Control Package contains a code list. The code list displays five-digit codes for most TV/STB device manufacturers in alphabetical order. If the device you want to control is covered by the code list, the Direct Code Entry is the most convenient entry method.

Turn on the device you want to control
Press the SETUP key until the LED indicator is permanently lit.
Select the device you want to control using the device key (e.g. TV). A successful selection is indicated by the LED with one flash followed by permanent light.
Check code list for brand and type of the device you want to control.
Enter the corresponding five-digit code using the number buttons 0-9. The LED confirms the entry of each digit with a short flash and goes out after the fifth digit.

Note

If the code is valid, it is saved automatically.
If code is invalid, the LED indicator flashes six times and then turns off. Repeat steps 5.1.1 to 5.1.5
or use a different code entry method.

Manual code search

Your Universal Remote Control is equipped with an internal memory, which is preloaded with up to 350 codes per device type for the most common.
TV/STB devices. You can zap through these codes until the device you want to control shows a reaction. This might be that the device you want to control switches off (POWER key) or changes the channel (CH+/CH- keys).

Turn on the device you want to control
Press the SETUP key until the LED indicator is permanently lit.
Select the device you want to control using the device key (e.g. TV). A successful selection is indicated by the LED with one flash followed by permanent light.
Press the “ POWER ” or the CH+/CH- key to zap through the preloaded codes until the device you want to control reacts.
Press MUTE to save the code and exit the code search. The LED indicator turns off.

Note

Internal memory limitations allow only up to 350 most common device codes to be preloaded. Due to the extensive number of different available TV/STB devices on the market, it may be possible that only the most common main functions are available. If so, repeat steps 5.2.1 to 5.2.5 to find a more compatible code. No code may be available for some special device models.

Auto Code Search

Auto Code Search uses the same preloaded codes as the Manual Code Search (5.2) but your Universal Remote Control scanns through the codes automatically until the device you want to control shows a reaction. This might be that the device you want to control switches off (POWER key) or changes the channel (CH+/CH- keys).

Turn on the device you want to control
Press the SETUP key until the LED indicator is permanently lit.
Select the device you want to control using the device key (e.g. TV). A successful selection is indicated by the LED with one flash followed by permanent light.
Press the CH+/CH- keys or POWER to start the Auto Code Search. The LED indicator flashes once followed by permanent light. The Universal Remote Control has a latency of 6 seconds before the first scan starts.
Note: Scan Speed Settings
- Scan Speed Settings can be set at either 1 or 3 seconds. The default setting for the scan time per single code is 1 sec. If this feels uncomfortable , you can switch to 3 sec. scan time per single code. To switch between the scan times, press CH+ or CH- during the 6 sec. latency before Auto Code Search starts scanning.
The LED indicator confirms each single code scan with a single flash.
Press MUTE to save the code and exit the code search. The LED indicator turns off.
To stop the Auto Code Search during the scan process, press the EXIT key.

Note

When all codes are searched without success, the Universal Remote Control exits Auto Code Search and returns to operational mode automatically. Currently stored code is not changed.

Code Identification

The Code identification offers you the possibility, to determine an already entered code.

Press the SETUP key until the LED indicator is permanently lit.
Select the device you want to control using the device key (e.g. TV). A successful selection is indicated by the LED with one flash followed by permanent light.
Press SETUP key. The LED indicator flashes once followed by permanent light.
To find the first digit, press the numeric keys from 0 to 9. The LED flashes once for the first digit of the five-digit code number.
Repeat step 5.4.4 for the second, third, fourth and fifth digits respectively.

LEARN MODE

This remote control is equipped with a learning function. Thus, you could learn functions of your original remote to this remote control.

BEFORE STARTING LEARN MODE

The batteries in the two remote controls have to be in good condition. Replace them if necessary.
Place the remote controls with the infrared diodes so that they point towards each other.
Where necessary adjust the height of both remotes so that infrared diodes are properly aligned.
The distance between the remote controls should be about 3 cm.

Note

Do not move the remote controls during the learning procedure.
Ensure that the room is not lit by fluorescents tubes or low energy consumption lamps since such light sources could interfere with the copying.
The 2 remote controls must be at least 1 meter away from any light source.
During learning mode, if no key is selected for more than 30 seconds, the learning mode will exit automatically or if no other remote signal is received.
Each function key will hold only one command. A new command to be learned will automatically replace the previous one.
It is not possible to learn any new functions to the TV, STB and Setup key.

ENTER LEARN MODE

Press and hold the [MUTE] and [VOL+] keys for approx. 3 seconds until the LED will be lit.
Enter the code [9] [8] [0], the LED will flash 2 times and then remain on.
The Universal Remote Control is now ready to learn new commands.

LEARNING OF KEYS

Press and release the desired key on the original remote control which you want the command to be learned. The LED at your Universal Remote Control will flash to confirm that the information has been received.
Then press and release the target key on the Universal Remote Control you want learned.
If the LED flashes 3 times and then remain on, the command has been learned successfully.
Repeat these steps to learn other key functions.
Please press the [SETUP] key to save the code and exit learning mode.

Note

While replacing the batteries, the remote control will keep the functions of the learned keys.
