User’s Guide for the
UF4-200B
4-in-1 Cable TV
RemoteControl
If you have a TV with a remote control,
we recommend that you plug its power
cord directly into a wall outlet if avail-
able (your cable installer may select an
alternate setup).
Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3,
or 4 as directed by your cable company.
This manual makes reference to "mode
keys." These are the
CABLE
,
TV
,
VCR
,
and
AUX
keys at the top of the remote
control.
On the remote control, press and hold the appropriate mode key until the four
mode keys flash twice. The mode key will continue to flash.
Enter the three-digit code.
After you press the first digit, the mode key should light and stay on. After you
press the last digit, the mode key should flash three times and turn off.
If the mode key does not flash three times before turning off, the code is
invalid for this device type. Repeat the procedure with another device code.
Point the remote at the device and press
POWER
. If the device turns on or
off, you have finished programming.
If you have tried all the codes listed for the manufacturer and the device does
not respond, refer to the CodeScan
™
section later in this manual.
