1. Before You Begin
Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3, or 4 as directed by your cable company.

This manual makes reference to "mode keys." These are the TV, CABLE, AUX, and VCR keys at the top of the remote control.

After you have programmed the remote, you'll use the mode keys to select which device you want the remote control to operate.

2. Install Batteries
Before you can program or operate the remote control, you must install two Alkaline AA batteries.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of your remote control.

2.  Check battery polarity carefully, and install the batteries as shown in the illustration below

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Weak batteries may disrupt normal operation of the remote.

We recommend that you use only Alkaline AA batteries.

3. Know Your Remote
The chart below shows the functions of special keys for your cable box and program guide. See the cable box manual for further details.
 
POWER turns the current device on and off
HELP displays help for the on-screen display
LOCK allows restricting viewing of certain programs
EXIT exits the on-screen display menus
INFO displays channel and program information
GUIDE displays the program guide
MENU displays the main on-screen display menu
CURSOR KEYS
navigate through on-screen guides
FAV cycles through your favorite channels
LAST recalls the last channel that was viewed
MUTE turns volume off
OK selects various options and tunes programs from the program guide
 PAGE +/- pages through on-screen menu and program guide screens
DAY +/- moves the program guide one day forward and backward
TV/VCR switches between TV and VCR
MUSIC/ENTER switches between cable TV and Music Choice™

Depending on the configuration of your cable box, certain functions listed here may or may not be functional.

Note that in the TV and VCR modes, the PAUSE, PLAY, REW, REC, and FF keys control your VCR. To record a program, press PLAY while holding down REC. This prevents accidental recording.

4. Setting Up Your Remote
The UF4-200B is already programmed to control Motorola (formerly General Instrument) DCT1000, DCT1200, and DCT2000 set-top terminals. To control another device, look for the list of manufacturers' three-digit codes for the device type in the Television Codes, VCR codes sections, or Converter Codes sections, then perform the following steps.

1. On the remote control, press and hold the appropriate mode key until the four mode keys flash twice. The mode key will continue to flash.

2. Enter the three-digit code.

After you press the first digit, the mode key should light and stay on. After you press the last digit, the mode key should flash three times and turn off.

If the mode key does not flash three times before turning off, the code is invalid for this device type. Repeat the procedure with another device code.

3. Point the remote at the device and press POWER. If the device turns on or off, you have finished programming.

If you have tried all the codes listed for the manufacturer and the device does not respond, refer to the CodeScan™ section later in this manual.

  (back to table of contents)

5. Setting Up Your Remote for an Auxiliary Device
You can program the AUX button to control an auxiliary device such as a second remote-controlled TV or VCR, a satellite receiver, or a digital audio tuner.

1. Press and hold AUX until the four mode keys flash twice. The AUX key will continue to flash.

2. Press and release the appropriate mode key for the device (VCR for a video cassette recorder, TV for a television, and CABLE for a cable device) until the four mode keys flash twice.

Look up the device manufacturer in the Television Codes, VCR codes sections, or Converter Codes sections and enter the three-digit code for your TV, VCR or Cable device.

3. After you press the first digit, the AUX key should light and stay on. After you press the last digit, the AUX key should flash three times and turn off.

If the AUX key does not flash three times before turning off, the code is invalid for this device type. Repeat the procedure with another device code.

4. Point the remote at the device and press POWER. If the device turns on or off, you have finished programming. If you have tried all the codes listed for the manufacturer and the device does not respond, refer to the CodeScan™ section later in this manual.

6. Programming Volume Control
By default, volume is controlled through your cable box; but if you have a TV that permits volume control, and you would to control volume through it, follow these steps (this procedure does not affect the device codes you set previously).

1. Press and hold CABLE for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.

2. Press TV. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off. You now control the volume through the TV whenever you change the volume level in Cable mode.

If you would like to return to volume control through the cable box, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold CABLE for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.

2. Press CABLE. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off. You now control the volume through the TV whenever you change the volume level in Cable mode.

  (back to table of contents)

7. Master Power Control
You can program your UF4-200B to turn on and off all of your remote-controlled devices (TV, CABLE, AUX, VCR) when you press POWER. All devices must be in direct line of sight to ensure proper operation.

Perform the following steps to enable or disable power control for each device:

1. Make sure all devices to be controlled are turned on.

2. Press and hold the CABLE key for approximately three seconds until all four mode keys flash twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.

3. Press POWER twice. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off.

11. Codescan
If none of the codes listed for your Cable Box, TV, or VCR works, the CodeScan™ method will allow you to cycle through all the available codes in the remote until you find the right Cable Box, TV, or VCR code.

1. Manually turn on power to the device for which you want to program the remote (TV, CABLE, AUX, VCR).

2. Press and hold a mode key for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash twice. The selected mode key will continue to flash.

Press POWER. The mode key will stop flashing and remain on.

3. Point the remote control at the device.

Press and release the CURSOR UP key repeatedly and slowly. Each time you press the key, the remote sends the power-off command using a different device code. When the device turns off, that means that the remote has been programmed with a code that can control the device. If you accidentally press the CURSOR UP key after the device has turned off, press the CURSOR DOWN key to return to the previous device code.

Test whether other functions operate using the remote control. If a primary function does not work, continue to press the CURSOR UP key to find another code that turns off the device. Then test the functions again.

4. When you are satisfied that all primary functions are working, press OK to lock in the code.

12. Recalling a Device Code
Perform the following steps to read the code currently set for a device. This is useful for retrieving a device code that was set using the CodeScan™ method.

1. Press and hold a mode key until the four mode keys flash twice. The selected mode key will continue to flash.

2. Press HELP. The mode key flashes each of the three digits in the code. A pause separates each digit. For example, three flashes represent the number 3. Rapid flashing represents 0.

3. Count and record the sequence of flashes to determine the three-digit code.
