nd

nd
TV, 2
nd
VCR
Before you can use your remote control, it must be
programmed (set-up) to operate the above devices.
Programming your remote is a simple procedure using
Point
and Press™ Programming,
an automatic method whereby
the remote self-programs to each of your devices, eliminating
the need to use codes. Programming your remote can also
be done by entering code numbers.
Simplified Point and Press™ Programming instructions can
also be found on the back of your remote control.
2. Installing / Replacing Batteries
Install two (2) “AAA” batteries as indicated by the diagram in
the battery compartment. Be careful to properly match the
“+ / -” ends of the batteries with the diagram in the battery
compartment.
Under normal use, your remote should operate for
approximately 10 - 12 months on 2 “AAA” non-alkaline
batteries. For longer life, use alkaline-type batteries.
When the batteries become too weak to operate the remote
control properly, the mode keys will become dim or not
illuminate at all during use. When this happens, install 2 new
“AAA” size batteries.
Your remote control has
Memory Guard™
, which eliminates
reprogramming after battery changes provided new batteries
are installed within 6 hours of removal of old batteries.
3. Programming Your Cable Converter
Your remote is pre-programmed to operate Motorola's
DCT
®
and CFT2200
®
set-top CABLE converters.
If you need to operate a different CABLE converter, look up
the brand and model number in the attached code list. If you
are not sure of your brand and model, contact your cable
company.
