Now you're ready to start! - + GETTING STARTED +-+ + - 5 Activating Component Commands 6 Activating Component Commands ­ Simple, Easy, Intuitive Once you've programmed RF10 for your Components, all you have to do to operate a specific Component is press the desired COMPONENT button. For example, press the TV COMPONENT Button. The top of the screen changes to TV. Now all of the buttons on the RF10 will work your TV. To operate another Component, simply press one of the other eight COMPONENT buttons. The SHIFT Button Press SHIFT to access a second command for each COMPONENT button. While RF10 is in SHIFT mode, the display on the LCD screen will blink. The buttons labeled with white text on the case, indicate just some of the secondary commands available when you are in SHIFT mode. Note: If you don't press a button within 10 seconds, the RF10 will exit SHIFT mode and return to normal operation. NOTE: The AUDIO COMPONENT has a unique SHIFT functionality. It can send input commands to you're A/V Surround Sound receiver by pressing the COMPONENT buttons after SHIFT is selected. SHIFT Button/LIGHT Button TV COMPONENT SHIFT BUTTON LIGHT BUTTON The LIGHT Button The fully backlit keypad makes the RF10 easy to use in the dark or dim lighting conditions. Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight all the keypad buttons and LCD screen. To turn off the backlight, press the LIGHT button again, or just wait ten seconds (the backlight automatically shuts itself off). Lights out! Try it out! GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED 7 Pre-Programmed Code Method 8 Basic Setup - Overview There are three ways to program the RF10: > The Pre-Programmed Code Method > The Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method > The Learning Method The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to setup all the buttons at once, so it's the fastest and easiest of the three methods. The Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the RF10, one at a time. The Learning Method allows you to transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one button at a time. Pre-Programmed Code Method Pre-Programmed Code Method STEP 1: The pre-programmed 3-digit codes are found in the back of this Manual on page 38. The codes are listed by Component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. For instance, if you want to locate a code for a Sony TV, first locate the TV category, and then look for the Sony brand. Once you have located the 3-digit code (or in some cases, several code numbers) for the Component that you want to operate with your RF10, write them ALL down on a piece of note paper. It's important that you write down all the codes because only one code is going to work for you. STEP 2: Now, turn on the Component you want to program... let's say your TV to start. Look up your TV's manufacturer setup code from your reference list. STEP 3: Press and hold the COMPONENT button (in this case TV) and SELECT button at the same time for approximately 3 seconds. The LCD screen will display "SET" signaling that you are now in Setup mode and ready to program your TV. IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, SET will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over. COMPONENT BUTTON SELECT BUTTON BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP 9 Pre-Programmed Code Method 10 Pre-Programmed Code Method STEP 4: Point the RF10 toward the Component you want to program, (in this example, TV), and punch in the 3-digit code that you wrote down for that specific Component. Use the Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to punch in the code. If the 3-digit code number that you just punched in is correct, the Component will turn off. If the Component does not turn off, continue entering code numbers from your list until the Component turns off. Some brands have several possible code numbers. CODE DISPLAY ON BUTTON VOLUME BUTTON STOP BUTTON PLAY BUTTON STEP 5: When the Component turns off, press the ON button to turn the Component back on. Now you can test the Volume and Channel buttons (for TV), or PLAY and STOP (for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new correct code. For example, maybe your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. If this is the case, try the next code number listed for that Component until you find a perfect match. NOTE: If the Component fails to turn off after you have entered all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can use either the Auto-Search Method on Page 11 or the Learning Method on Page 13. STEP 6: Once you have found the right code, save the code number by pressing the Component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time. The LCD screen will blink "SAVED" two times, signaling that the code number has been successfully saved, and then return to normal operating mode (in this case TV). BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP NOW, PROGRAM THE REST OF YOUR COMPONENTS BY REPEATING STEPS 2 THROUGH 6. IN MOST SYSTEMS, YOU CAN FINISH BASIC SETUP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES AND PUT ALL YOUR OLD REMOTES AWAY. 11 Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method 12 Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method Pre-Programmed Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through other codes in the table to find the right code for your component. STEP 1: Turn on the Component you want to program... let's say your TV to start. STEP 3: Press the UP ARROW Cursor button once. Each time the UP ARROW button is pressed, the code will count up one code number and send a POWER OFF signal. When the correct code is sent out, the component will turn off. STEP 2: Press and hold both the COMPONENT (in this case TV) and SELECT buttons for approximately three seconds. The LCD screen will display "SET" signaling that you are now in Setup mode and ready to program your TV. IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, SET will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over. sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new correct code. So, continue pressing the UP ARROW button until you find a code that makes the VOLUME and PLAY buttons work properly. STEP 5: Once you have found the right code, save the code number by pressing the Component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time. The LCD screen will blink "SAVED" two times, signaling that the code number has been successfully saved, and then return to normal operating mode. NOTE: If you can't find the right code after trying the UP ARROW button for 5 minutes, please try the Learning Method on Page 13. BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP TV COMPONENT SELECT BUTTON UP ARROW BUTTON ON BUTTON STEP 4: When the Component turns off, press the ON button to turn the Component back on. Now you can test the Volume and Channel buttons (for TV), or PLAY and STOP (for VCR and DVD) to make 13 Learning Method 14 Learning Method The RF10 can actually `learn' commands from other remote controls (old or new), one-button-at-a-time, so it will never become obsolete. RF10 is the last remote you'll ever need! Just follow these simple steps: Learning Method STEP 1: Line-up the RF10 with the other remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. STEP 3: Press any button on the RF10 that you want to teach a command to. Once you press a button, the top of the screen display will change from "LEARN" to "READY". STEP 4: Press and hold the button on the other remote control that you want to `teach' to the RF10 until the LCD display on the RF10 changes to either "GOOD" or "FAIL". It will then change to "READY". If the "GOOD" label appears on top of the display, you were successful. STEP 2: Press and hold both the desired Component button (in this case TV) and the ENT (Enter) button for approximately 3 seconds. The display on the LCD screen will show LEARN, signaling that you are now in LEARN mode and ready to `teach' your RF10. BASIC SETUP IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited LEARN mode and you will need to start over. BASIC SETUP COMPONENT BUTTON ENTER BUTTON NOTE REGARDING SHIFT FUNCTIONS: You can teach a second additional command to a button by pressing the SHIFT button, then pressing the button you want to teach. Additionally, using the SHIFT button, you may teach commands to the COMPONENT buttons themselves at the AUDIO mode. Simply select the AUDIO component in STEP 2, press SHIFT, and then the component buttons you want to teach. Now, continue to teach the RF10 any other commands from your other remotes by repeating STEPS 3 and 4 until the RF10 has learned all the buttons you want. If the "FAIL" label appears on top of the display, try `teaching' the same button to the RF10 once again by repeating STEPS 3 and 4. 15 Learning Method 16 Transmitting (Busy Signal) Icon When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in the far right side of the LCD screen. This indicates that a signal is being sent.This is particularly useful when setting up Macros, since it flashes with every step of a sequence of commands. Transmitting (Busy Signal) Icon STEP 5: Once you have completed teaching all the button commands to the RF10, save your work and return to normal operation by pressing both the COMPONENT button you pressed in STEP 2 and the ENT (Enter) button at the same time. The remote will respond by flashing SAVED on the display twice, then return to normal operating mode. NOTE: Test all your new commands. If any of them don't work, try the Learning Method again, following these suggestions: · Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process. · Even though the old remote seems to be working fine, put in fresh alkaline batteries. · Gradually vary the distance between the remote controls. Try 1", 2" and so on, up to 4 feet. · Try tapping the button on your old remote instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process. Some additional Information regarding the Learning Process: · Learned functions override any existing pre-programmed functions on the remote control. · All buttons can be learned except for the PAGE, MAIN and LIGHT buttons. · Learned functions are automatically erased when a new function is learned on the same button. · Learned functions are retained even after a different Setup Code Number is programmed into the remote. · To return to an original pre-programmed function, a learned function must be erased. CHILD LOCK FEATURE This `child-lock' feature prevents the unauthorized use of the remote control by children. It blocks all operations of the remote control. To Activate: Press the +10 and ENT (Enter) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The LCD will blink "LOCK" three times and then display "LOCK". To Return to Normal Operation: Press the +10 and ENT (Enter) buttons simultaneously again for 3 seconds. The LCD will display the last use mode. BASIC SETUP BASIC SETUP 17 Customizing Y our RF10 with Special Advanced Features 18 Customizing Your RF10 with Special Advanced Features After you've finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the RF10 just the way you want, using the Special Advanced Setup Features described in this section. Customizing Your RF10 with Special Advanced Features Customizing Component Names on the LCD Screen You can easily edit or change the name of any of the eight COMPONENT buttons on the LCD screen. For example, you can rename AUX to "LIGHTS" or SAT to "DISH", etc. Here's how: STEP 1: Press and hold both the COMPONENT button you want to rename and the MENU button at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word "EDIT" is displayed on the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in EDIT mode. STEP 2: The current COMPONENT name will then appear on the screen, with the first space/character blinking on and off. Change the character by using any of the NUMBER buttons. Each press of the same NUMBER button selects the next character of that number's group, as shown in the diagram below: STEP 3: Once the character you want appears, move to the next space by pressing the Right ( ) cursor button. Use the Left ( ) cursor button to move the blinking character to the left. Use the Down ( ) cursor button to delete the currently blinking character. STEP 4: When you are finished editing the COMPONENT name, press the COMPONENT button you pressed in STEP 1 to save the changes. The RF10 will respond by flashing "SAVED" twice, then automatically return to normal operating mode. ADVANCED SETUP ADVANCED SETUP IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in EDIT mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, EDIT will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited EDIT mode and you will need to start over. 19 MacroPowerTM Setup 20 MacroPowerTM Setup MacroPowerTM is a unique feature that enables you to turn all of your Components ON or OFF, at the same time, simply with the press of one button. We call that a "Macro". What would normally take multiple remotes and button pushes, the RF10 can accomplish with the press of one button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF buttons, any of the Component buttons can be set to be Macro buttons as well. Feel the power! To setup a Power ON macro button that will turn ON several components at the same time (for example, TV, VCR and CABLE), follow these easy steps: STEP 1: Press and hold both the ON button and the MUTE buttons at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word "MACRO" is displayed on the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in MACRO Setup mode. MacroPowerTM Setup PROGRAMMING A "PRESS & HOLD" MACRO: Another option for macro buttons is to only send the macro commands if the button is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the COMPONENT button will simply switch Components without sending the macro command. STEP 2: Press the first COMPONENT button you want to turn on (in this example, TV) and then confirm the command by pressing the ON button. Repeat this step for all the other components in the order you want them to turn on (in this example, VCR followed by CABLE). The LCD screen changes to the MACRO step display for each command. STEP 3: Once you have entered all the desired Power On commands, press the CHANNEL ( ) UP button to save your MacroPower commands. The RF10 will respond by flashing "SAVED" twice, then automatically return to normal operating mode. SETTING UP A POWER OFF OR A COMPONENT BUTTON AS MACRO: If you want to program macro commands for the OFF or one of the 8 component buttons, in STEP 1, simply press the button you want to be a macro instead of the ON button. For example, you can setup an AUDIO button to be a macro by pressing AUD (Audio) and MUTE for 3 seconds. Once the screen displays "MACRO", press the button with the command you want. Then complete and save the Macro by following STEP 3 as outlined above. ADVANCED SETUP ADVANCED SETUP IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in MACRO mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, MACRO will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited MACRO Setup mode and you will need to start over. (NOTE: Whenever a button is pressed, another Macro step is counted and displayed on the screen.) NOTE: Don't worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can store up to 50 steps, so you are not likely to run out of steps! You can also program delays in between commands by pressing the (II) PAUSE button. Each press adds half a second to the delay. 21 SimpleSoundTM Setup & Other `Punch Throughs' 22 SimpleSoundTM Setup & Other `Punch Throughs' SimpleSoundTM is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the Components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control, such as TiVo, DVD and VCR... saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote. With SimpleSoundTM, you can set the RF10's volume control buttons to always control the sound in your system, even when you're in VCR or DVD mode, without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Even more exciting, SimpleSound¢, is what is called a `Punch Through' feature and is not limited strictly to volume control. Click and enjoy! Now, let's setup SimpleSoundTM. Here's how: SimpleSoundTM Setup & Other `Punch Throughs' STEP 4: Now, press the COMPONENT button for the component that has the Volume control you want (i.e., TV for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems using Surround Sound receivers). The screen display will flash "SAVED" twice to confirm the command is saved, and the RF10 will automatically return to normal operating mode. This sets up a group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down, and MUTE) in one action! NOTE: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volume and can also be applied to other groups of buttons and functions. If you find yourself switching to a particular component frequently to use a group of controls, consider using Punch Through for another group, as listed here: STEP 1: In a basic home entertainment system, the sound may come from your TV. In a more advanced system, the sound may come from your audio Component such as a Surround Sound Receiver or Home Theatre system. So, first, you need to identify which Component you want to use in your system for sound. ADVANCED SETUP STEP 3: Press the VOL+ button. The screen will alternately blink PUNCH and FROM in the display. STEP 2: Press and hold both the COMPONENT button you want to add volume control to, such as DVD or VCR, and the SEL (Select) button for approximately 3 seconds, until the word "SET" is displayed on the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in SimpleSound Setup mode. IMPORTANT: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in Setup mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, "SET" will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited Setup mode and you will need to start over. · VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute · CH - Channel Up, Channel Down, Previous Ch and Channel (0-9) buttons. · PLAY - Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward · VOD - Menu, Guide, Info, Exit, Up, Down,Left, Right, Select Simply perform the steps above and for step 3, press the first button listed in the group and all buttons will be programmed. ADVANCED SETUP STEP 5: Repeat STEPS 2-4 until all your other components (VCR, CABLE, CD, etc.) operate the volume perfectly. 23 AUX Function:Programming an 8th Component 24 AUX Function: Programming an 8th Component AUX Function: Programming an 8th Component After you've finished customizing the RF10's programming for seven primary components, and you did not use AUX, you can take advantage of the AUX function to program an 8th component, such as a second TV, VCR, or any other audio/video component that you may have in your system. STEP 1: Turn on the component you wish to setup (a second TV for example). STEP 3: Press the component button you want to setup (in this case TV). STEP 2: Press and hold both the AUX and SEL (Select) buttons at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word "SET" displays on the LCD screen. STEP 4: Point the RF10 toward the Component you want to program, (in this example, TV), and punch in the 3-digit code that you wrote down for that specific Component. Use the Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to punch in the code. If the 3-digit code number that you just punched in is correct, the Component will turn off. If the Component does not turn off, continue entering code numbers from your list until the Component turns off. Some brands have several possible code numbers. ADVANCED SETUP Channel buttons (for TV), or PLAY and STOP (for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new correct code. For example, maybe your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. If this is the case, try the next code number listed for that Component until you find a perfect match. ADVANCED SETUP STEP 6: Once you have found the right code, save the code number by pressing the Component button you pressed in STEP 2 (in this case AUX) one more time. The LCD screen will blink "SAVED" two times, signaling that the code number has been successfully saved, and then return to normal operating mode. NOTE: Any component button can be setup to operate any type of component by following these same steps. Simply substitute the desired component button in place of AUX in STEP 2. STEP 5: IMPORTANT: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in Setup mode. If you don't press a button within 30 seconds, "SET" will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited Setup mode and you will need to start over. When the Component turns off, press the ON button to turn the Component back on. Now you can test the Volume and AUX BUTTON NUMBER BUTTONS 25 Recalling Pre-Programmed Setup Code Numbers 26 Recalling Pre-Programmed Setup Code Numbers In case you didn't write down the Pre-Programmed Code Numbers that you used to setup your RF10, you can easily recall them using this simple process: STEP 1: Press and hold both the COMPONENT you want to identify and the SEL (Select) buttons at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word "SET" is displayed on the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in setup mode. STEP 2: Press the INFO button. The name of the selected component will blink twice on the LCD screen, followed by the 3-digit code. Write down the code numbers as they appear for future reference. Pages 37 of this manual provides a convenient space for you to record your code numbers.

POWER OFF BUTTON STOP BUTTON 35 The Optional PowerBlasterTM 36 The Optional PowerBlasterTM (for `barrier-free' RF control) [Sold separately] Of all the fabulous RF10 features, this is probably the most exciting. When used in combination with the optional PowerBlasterTM, the RF10 becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors ­ both indoors and outdoors. This changes everything! It enables you to control Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100' away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF10's radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF10 doesn't need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just imagine ­ no more pointing! Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your patio. Control your Components anywhere! One of the best things about this is -- nothing has to be done to the RF10 for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the RF10, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. If you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will automatically receive RF10's radio signals and translate them into the infrared commands that control your Components. NOTE:The RF10's radio signals will not control Components directly.You must have a PowerBlasterTM to receive the RF10's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF10 unless the Component can be switched to standard IR (Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the RF10. The RF10 sends radio signal to the PowerBlasterTM, which is a radio receiver. The Optional PowerBlasterTM The PowerBlasterTM converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to Components in the same cabinet space. Self-adhesive "flashers" (included in the PowerBlasterTM kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The flashers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of the PowerBlaster's front blaster. The flashers plug into PowerBlaster's rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10' cable to easily reach Components on nearby shelves.

Some brands have more than one three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct row and refer to it while you setup (step by step instructions for using Pre-Programmed codes are found on page 7). The RF10's Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of Components. For example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units.
