A M e n u B Q u i t C REW cc PLAY STOP F.FWD RECORD PAUSE ZEN UNIVERSAL REMOTE ZENITH REMOTE MANUAL 2 ZEN SERIES ZEN REMOTE PROGRAMMING BATTERY INSTALLATION Your Universal Remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries: 1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off. 2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert the batteries. 3. Press the battery cover back into place. BATTERY SAVER Your Zenith remote will automatically "time-out" if the keys are depressed more than two minutes. This will save your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). CODE SAVER You will have no more than 90 seconds to change the batteries in your remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do not press any buttons until batteries are secured in the remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be lost. GLOW KEYS Glow Keys must be exposed to light in order for the keys to glow in the dark. The longer the exposure to light, the longer they will glow. Do not place in Direct Sunlight. Natural day light or light from a Filament lamp or fluorescent Lamp is sufficient to recharge the glow material. BUTTON FUNCTIONS Some buttons on the remote control might have functions that are referred to by different names on your product. For example, "Prev Ch" may be the same as "RECALL" on your remote. Differences depend on the brand and model of your product. Also, this remote can only operate features that exist on your product. For example, your product must be equipped with "Prev Ch" ability for the "Prev Ch" button to operate this feature. Note: The REC button must be pressed TWICE to record from your VCR. For Zenith brand VCRs, press the REC button once, then press it again for three seconds.
