Congratulations!
Your TEK PARTNER™ Universal Remote Control is a state-of-the-art device which
integrates many different infra-red remote controls. The TEK PARTNER™ is pre-programmed at the
factory, but you will need to enter a Device Code for each device to complete the program. Simply
enter correct device codes for your equipment and your TEK PARTNER™ is ready to use! A Device
Code List is included in this User’s Manual. The TEK PARTNER™ replaces up to 4 separate remote
controls to operate your infra-red controlled televisions (TVs), video cassette recorders (VCRs), and
cable boxes (CBLs).
HOW TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES
Your TEK PARTNER™ requires 4 fresh AA-size batteries (alkaline batteries recommended).
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your TEK PARTNER™.
2. Observe the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Insert the batteries.
4. Push the battery cover back in place.NOTE:
When all batteries are disconnected, the TEK PARTNER™ retains its setting only for 15 minutes.
Should you fail to replace new batteries in time, use a stylus or the tip of a pen to reset the unit. Th
reset button is located inside the battery compartment.
You may now have to re-program your TEK PARTNER™. See SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNER™
section.
