15-1990.fm Page 2 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM FEATURES Your RadioShack 3-in-One Pocket Remote Control can replace up to three infrared remote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, TV/VCR combination, and cable converter. Unlike some universal remote controls, the 3-in-One is preprogrammed with the most commonly used commands and does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls.

15-1990.fm Page 4 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM INTRODUCTION Your RadioShack 3-in-One Pocket Remote Control was designed to control the most commonly used functions on your TV, VCR, TV/VCR combination, and cable converter. When you set up the remote control, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls. For example, the remote control’s POWER key works like a key on your original remote control which might be labeled POWER ON/OFF.
15-1990.fm Page 5 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. • Do not press any of the remote control’s keys while installing batteries.
15-1990.fm Page 6 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce battery life.

15-1990.fm Page 10 Tuesday, December 14, 1999 12:45 PM Turning Punch-Through Off/On If your cable converter or VCR has a volume control, you might want to turn off punch-through so you can use the cable converter or VCR’s volume control to adjust the sound. To turn off punch-through, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press MUTE, MUTE, and CH –. The red light blinks four times.
