Contec RC-U49C-15+ Troubleshooting / Tips, Frequently Used Terms, 2003, Contec Corporation

Note: When you find the correct code, the fast-forward or rewind function of the device being programmed will be performed. To simplify programming using these buttons, insert a VHS tape or DVD in the device being programmed.

You can also program your remote using the other available functions as follows:

a.Press [SELECT], then [MUTE] together until the power / mode buttons illuminate in slow- rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL...).

b.In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH+] and [VOL+]. The power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL...).

c.You can now program your remote using the [CH+], [CH -], [VOL+], [VOL -], [S], [T], [FFWD], [REW], [PLAY], [STOP], [REC], [PAUSE], [LAST], [FAV], [0] - [9] buttons. When you find the correct code, the function associated with the selected button will be performed.

4.Your remote is equipped with a Point and Press® Programming label on the back of its case. This will help you quickly program the remote without using codes.

Troubleshooting / Tips

1.If the same button is pressed and held for 30 seconds, your remote control will turn itself off automatically. This extends the battery life should the remote become lodged under or between heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.

2.If you have a TV that’s operated by remote control, it is recommended that you plug it directly into a wall outlet instead of the cable set-top terminal.

3.If you have any questions concerning the brand, model or operation of your cable set-top terminal, contact your cable operator.

4.If the [MODE] button is not operating, the remote is in its locked mode. To set the remote to its unlocked mode, see Section 16.
