Product Information

The 2-Device Universal Remote is a versatile remote control that can be used to control your TV and cable box. It offers various button functions such as power, volume control, channel selection, mute, previous channel, numbers for direct channel selection, enter, setup, input selection, and sleep timer. The remote requires two AA batteries for operation (not included), and it is recommended to use alkaline batteries for optimal performance.

  • Battery Installation:
    • On the back of the remote, pull down on the textured surface and slide the battery cover downward to remove it.
    • Match the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries to the corresponding marks inside the battery compartment, then insert two AA batteries. Make sure to use fresh batteries.
    • Position the battery cover slightly below the opening and push upward to lock it into place.
    • If the remote stops operating properly, replace the batteries with new ones.
  • Battery Precautions:
    • When disposing of batteries, follow local and national regulations for proper recycling or disposal.
    • The remote has a battery saver feature that automatically turns it off if the buttons remain depressed for more than 8 seconds.
    • This helps save battery life in case the remote gets stuck between sofa cushions or any other place.
    • The remote also has a code saver feature that allows you up to 10 minutes to change the batteries without losing the programmed codes.
