Series 8600x™ Remote Control

Before You Begin

You may use your remote control to operate your 8600x Home Commu- nications Terminal right away. There are instructions for using the keys on the back of your remote control. But if you want your remote control to oper- ate your TV power on/off, volume and mute controls, you need to follow the instructions that follow.

To control your TV functions, you need to tell your remote control the type of TV you are using. This will enable you to use your remote control to operate the power, on/off, volume and mute controls on your TV. To tell your remote control the type of TV you are using, follow steps 1 through

4.

Step 1.

Find your TV code.

Find the three-number TV code(s) that corresponds to your TV. Most brands have more than one code. Start with

the first code.

Step 2.

Turn your TV on.

Step 3.

To tell your remote control to turn your TV on and off, and to control your TV’s volume and mute, follow the three steps below.

(If you want your remote control to only turn your TV on and off, skip this step and go to step 4.)

A. Hold down the TV POWER key.

B. Enter your three-number TV code.

C. Release the TV POWER key.

Your TV should turn off when you enter the third number of the code.

If your TV does not turn off when you enter the third number of the code, turn to TV Brands and Codes and find the next code for your TV.

Repeat step 3 using the next code. Continue repeating this step until your TV turns off.

If none of the codes for your type of TV work, see If You Have A Problem in the guide.

Step 4.

To tell your remote control to ONLY turn your TV on and off, fol- low the four steps below.

A. Hold down the TV POWER key.

B. Press 9

C. Enter your three-number TV code.

D. Release the TV POWER key.

Your TV should turn off when you enter the third number of the code

If your TV does not turn off when you enter the third number of the code, turn to TV Brands and Codes and find the next code for your TV.

Repeat step 3 using the next code. Continue repeating this step until your TV turns off.

If none of the codes for your type of TV work, see If You Have A Problem in the guide.

If You Have A Problem

If you are unable to find the correct code in TV Brands and Codes, the Series 8600x Remote Control can search all the codes for you. To do this, do the following:

1. Turn your TV on.

2. Hold TV POWER down and press

999 on the number keys to tell your remote control to operate your TV power on/off, volume and mute. Or, press 9999 if you want your remote control to operate only the TV power on/off.

3. Repeatedly press TV POWER until your TV turns off. When your TV turns off, stop pressing TV POWER. (There are at least 85 different codes, so this may take some time.)

4. Press LAST

You may press MENU at any time to end the search.

If your remote control will not op- erate your TV, try the following:

Make sure the remote control is correctly programmed - see steps 1 through 4

Shorten the distance between the remote control and the TV. Also, point the remote control directly at your TV or home communications terminal

Replace the batteries. Your remote control uses two AA alkaline batteries.

If you replace the batteries in the remote control, you must repeat steps 1 through 4.
