Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert two new AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Device Programming (Code Setup)

The URC 3420 is pre-programmed for many popular brands. If your device does not respond immediately, you may need to program it using a specific code.

1. Turn on the device (TV or VCR) you wish to control manually.
2. Press and hold the MAGIC button until the LED light on the remote blinks twice and then stays on.
3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV or VCR). The LED will blink once and then stay on.
4. Enter the 4-digit setup code for your device brand. Refer to the code list provided with your remote (not included in this manual).
5. After entering the code, the LED will blink twice and turn off if the code is valid. If the LED shows a long blink, the code is invalid; try another code.
6. Test the remote by pressing the POWER button. If the device turns off, the programming was successful. If not, repeat the process with a different code for your brand.

Operating Instructions

To operate your devices, first select the desired device mode.

• Device Selection: Press the TV button to control your television or the VCR button to control your video cassette recorder. The remote will remain in this mode until another device button is pressed.
• Power: Press the POWER button to turn the selected device on or off.
• Volume Control: Use the VOL+ and VOL- buttons to adjust the volume.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or the LED indicator does not light up. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA alkaline batteries.
• Storage: If the remote will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not working:
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the device. Remove any obstructions.
  • Make sure the correct device mode (TV or VCR) is selected on the remote.
• Device not responding to commands:
  • The device code may be incorrect. Try reprogramming the remote with a different code for your brand.
