FEATURES
Your RadioShack 4-in-One Smart Light-Up Re-
mote Control is a pre-programmed universal
learning remote. It is both pre-programmed
with the most commonly used commands, and
equipped with "smart technology" that lets you
customize your remote to meet your home en-
tertainment needs.
Its lighted keypad lets you easily see the re-
mote's buttons in a dark room. When you turn
on this feature, pressing any button lights the
entire keypad.
This manual includes a list of many manufac-
turers' 4-digit codes for your TVs, VCRs, cable
converters, CD players, and more.
Your remote control's features include:
Powerful Infrared Beam lets you operate
your remote-controlled devices from a greater
distance than many of the original remote con-
trols.
Large, Easy-to-Use Keypad with buttons in
the ideal positions for easy operation.
Handy Reference Label provides a conve-
nient place for you to write down the manufac-
turers' codes for your devices.
Toll Free Support brings expert help for
your remote control directly to you when you
call 1-888-284-8735.
Note: You need four AAA batteries (not sup-
plied) to power your 4-in-One Smart Light-Up
Remote Control.

INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack 4-in-One Smart Light-Up
was designed to control the most commonly
used functions on your TV, VCR, TV/VCR com-
bination, cable converter, and CD player. It
might not be able to duplicate some of your
original remote control's seldom-used func-
tions.
When you set up the remote control, its com-
mand keys work like the keys on your original
remote controls. For example, the 4-in-One's
POWER
key works like a POWER ON/OFF key
on your original remote control.
Note: To record, you must press
REC

.
twice. This helps avoid accidentally recording
over tapes.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote control requires four AAA batter-
ies (not supplied) for power. For the best per-
formance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries or differ-
ent types of batteries.
Do not press any of the remote control's
keys while installing batteries.
Note: You do not need to reprogram your re-
mote control after removing the batteries, be-
cause no stored information is lost during
battery replacement.
1. Press the battery compartment cover's tab
and lift off the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and )
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control's range decreases or
it stops operating properly, replace the batter-
ies.
Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Note: Do not place objects on top of the re-
mote control after you have installed the batter-

ies. This can press keys for an extended period
of time and reduce the battery life.
