Battery Installation
and Information
Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries
may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically
turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves
your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys
remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the
batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside
the battery compartment.
3. Press and push the battery cover back
into place.
Note:
Reprogramming may be required
after batteries are replaced.
Congratulations on your purchase of this four-component universal
remote. This universal remote controls up to four electronic
components and makes juggling remote controls a thing of the past.
And, this unique remote is incredibly easy to use because, once you
press the key for the component you wish to control, only the key
names needed to control that component light up.
You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate most
models of most brands of infrared, remote-controlled components
manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete
list of brands.) This remote is unusually versatile because it has a
VCR·AUX key that you can program to control any video component.
The four-component universal remote is easy to use, easy to program
and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips.
The four-component universal remote is already
programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded
TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the
corresponding key—
