Practice with the built-in commands
The RCA Voice Control Remote comes factory pre-trained with some
common voice commands that you can use right out of the box.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FRENCH AND SPANISH SPEAKERS:
You can train this remote to understand commands in French and
Spanish. Follow the directions on page 33 for French or 53 for Spanish
to set a new keyword and configure your own voice commands.
Tips for Using Voice Commands
The RCA Voice Control Remote must be pointing at the device
to be controlled when either a button is pressed or a voice
command is utilized.
The RCA Voice Control Remote requires a brief period of silence
before it can recognize a voice command.
To maximize battery life, the RCA Voice Control Remote will
“sleep” when not in use. Remember to “wake up” the RCA Voice
Control Remote by pressing the
LISTEN
button before giving the
RCA Voice Control Remote a voice command.

Say
“Remote control”
—this is the
remote’s keyword. The COMMAND
light illuminates for 3 seconds while
the remote waits for you to say one of
the built-in voice commands:
Remote
control.
To use the built-in voice commands:
1.
Press the
LISTEN
button. The
KEYWORD light illuminates.
“Power”
turns the active device on or off.
“Channel Up”
goes to the next channel on the active device
(make sure you’re using a device that uses this command).
“Channel Down”
goes to the lower-numbered channel on the
active device (make sure you’re using a device that uses this
command).
“Go Back”
goes to the last channel tuned on the active device
(make sure you’re using a device that uses this command).
If the remote does not hear one of these commands within 3 seconds,
it will go back to listening for the keyword
“Remote control.”
For best results:
Put the remote on a table just at
arms length. You don’t need to hold
it close to your mouth. In a quiet
environment, the remote works best
12–36 inches from you. In a noisy
environment, the range is 12–24
inches.
