You can use it to control your TV, VCR, or cable converter. Unlike some universal remote controls, your remote control is preprogrammed with the most commonly used commands and does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls.

15-1931.fm Page 5 Monday, July 19, 1999 2:26 PM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES Your remote control requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.

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.
