real-time clock, and icons for constant visual feedback of operations

and programming sequences

• My System – a unique mode that combines different device controls

under one mode for operating convenience

• Macros – for instant activation of favorite key sequences

• Learning – to capture unique functions from your devices’ original

remote controls

• Key Mover – for copying keys from one device to another, or to a dif-

ferent position in the same mode

• Code Search and Verification – help you quickly set up the remote

control to operate your devices

• Channel Scan and Favorite Channel Scan – let you “channel surf”all

available and favorite channels

• Vol u m e L o c k – to assign volume controls to individual devices or to

one global device

• Dedicated Menu/Guide Keys – for instant access to cable and satellite

program guides and menus

• IR/RF Command Center - to extend the remote’s signal range

• Searchable Code Library – contains world’s largest and most efficient

group of infrared remote control codes for virtually every current

brand and make.

• Low Battery Icon – to notify you when batteries are getting low

• Backlighting – to aid operation in low ambient light

After installing four (4) new AAA alkaline batteries (not included, see
