help you quickly program the remote without using 
codes. 

2. The indicator light will remain on while the remote is 

in a programming mode. In the absence of an
entry, the light will go out after 45 seconds.

When locking in your devices, the indicator light will
blink and go out.

3. When using the Point and Press

TM

method, you may find a code that turns your device
off but not back on. If this happens...

a. the correct code has not been found. 

Continue pressing [CH 

] until your devices 

turn on and off.

OR

b. you may have gone past the correct matching

code. Try pressing [CH 

] one step at a time

until you find a code that turns your cable set-top
terminal back on.

4. If you have any questions concerning the operation 

of your cable set-top terminal, contact your cable
operator.

5. If the same button is pressed and held for 45 

seconds, your remote control will turn itself off.
This extends the battery life by should the remote
become lodged under or between heavy objects,
for example sofa cushions.
