3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the cover downwards or press the latch and lift to open.
- Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals match the diagrams inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover, sliding it back into place until it clicks securely.
Note: Always use fresh batteries and replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
3.2 Programming the Remote
To control your devices, the universal remote must be programmed with the correct codes for each device. There are typically two methods for programming:
3.2.1 Direct Code Entry
This method involves entering a specific code from a code list (usually provided with the remote or available online) for your device's brand.
- Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV, DVD player).
- Press and hold the desired device button on the remote (e.g., TV, DVD) for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light (usually red) illuminates and stays on.
- While the indicator light is on, enter the 3-digit or 4-digit code for your device's brand using the number keys.
- If the code is valid, the indicator light will turn off. If the light flashes and remains on, the code was invalid; re-enter the code.
- Test the remote by pressing the POWER button. If the device turns off, the code is correct. If not, try the next code listed for your brand.
3.2.2 Auto Code Search
If you cannot find a code or direct code entry fails, use the auto code search method.
- Turn on the device you wish to control.
- Press and hold the desired device button (e.g., TV) for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light illuminates and stays on.
- While holding the device button, press the POWER button once. The indicator light will start flashing, indicating it is searching for a code.
- Point the remote at the device and wait for the device to turn off. This may take several minutes as the remote cycles through codes.
- Once the device turns off, immediately press the ENTER button to save the code. The indicator light will turn off.
- Test the remote's functions. If some functions do not work, repeat the auto search process to find a more compatible code.
4. Operating Instructions
Once programmed, operating your Vibe Axcess 5-in-1 Universal Remote is straightforward.
- Select Device: Press the corresponding device button (e.g., TV, DVD, CBL.DTC) for the device you wish to control. The indicator light will briefly illuminate to confirm selection.
- Power On/Off: Press the POWER button to turn the selected device on or off.
- Volume Control: Use the VOL+ and VOL- buttons to adjust the volume.
- Channel Control: Use the CH+ and CH- buttons to change channels.
- Number Keys: Use the number keys (0-9) to directly enter channel numbers or other numerical inputs.
- Navigation: Use the directional pad (up, down, left, right) and OK button for menu navigation.
- Media Controls: Use PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, REW, FWD, and REC for controlling media playback on compatible devices.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean your remote, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
5.2 Battery Replacement
When the remote's performance degrades or the indicator light fails to illuminate, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 3.1. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
6. Troubleshooting
- Remote not working:
- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure you have selected the correct device button (e.g., TV for your television).
- Verify that the remote is programmed with the correct code for your device. Re-program if unsure.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the device's infrared sensor.
- Some functions not working:
- Some universal remote codes may not support all original remote functions. Try another code for your device brand using the programming steps.
- Ensure the device you are trying to control supports the specific function (e.g., not all TVs have a dedicated 'INFO' button function).
