Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be
included, depending on model). To install the batteries:
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any
key is pressed for more than 60 seconds.
Battery Saver
Backlight illumination (available on select models only)
enables you to see the remote control keys better in the
dark. Backlight illumination is toggled on or off with
successive keypresses of the
LIGHT
key. When toggled
on, the backlighting remains on as long as keys are being
pressed. The backlighting turns off six seconds after
the last keypress. Once the backlight time has expired,
any keypress reactivates backlighting. If the backlight
illumination is on, and the
LIGHT
key is pressed, the
backlight turns off.
Backlighting
Illuminated ON·OFF Key
Double Off Function
The
ON·OFF
key powers components on and off. It
also lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing
feedback for various functions. When a valid key is
pressed, the illuminated
ON·OFF
key remains lit as
long as the key is pressed and turns off when the key is
released. The
ON·OFF
key also blinks in Programming
mode or in Menu mode to provide feedback.
The Double Off function transmits a sequence of POWER OFF commands to turn off all
RCA components. This feature is specific to RCA products and does not work with other
brands. To activate this feature, press the illuminated
ON·OFF
key twice within a two-
second window. At the second keypress, all RCA components turn off.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+)
and (-) marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Press and push the battery cover back into place.
Note:
Reprogramming may be required after batteries
are replaced.
