3. Operating Instructions

The URC 6810 is designed for intuitive operation with its large, colored keys and simplified layout.

• Device Selection: The remote can control up to three devices: TV, Sat/Cable/Freeview, and Audio. Use the dedicated device selection buttons (if present, or as programmed) to switch between controlling different devices.
• Power Keys: Two separate power keys are provided to ensure you always know which device you are turning on or off. One typically controls the TV, and the other can be programmed for a secondary device.
• Volume Control: Use the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons to adjust the audio level.
• Channel Navigation: Use the channel up (+) and channel down (-) buttons to change channels.
• Mute: The mute button allows you to quickly silence the audio.
• Navigation Pad: The central navigation pad (with OK button) is used for menu navigation and selection within your device's interface.

For specific functions, refer to the programming you performed during setup, especially if you used the learning feature.

4. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your universal remote control.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or or immerse the remote in liquid.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's performance degrades or when the indicator light (if present) signals low battery. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries.
• Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the remote or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your URC 6810 remote, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
  • Replace old batteries with fresh AAA batteries. Low battery power can cause erratic behavior or no response.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the device you are trying to control.
  • Verify that you have selected the correct device mode on the remote (e.g., TV mode for controlling the TV).
• Buttons Not Working After Programming:
  • If using brand codes, double-check that you entered the correct code for your device. Try alternative codes for your brand if the first one doesn't work.
  • If using the learning feature, ensure the original remote was functioning correctly and that the learning process was completed successfully for each button. Repeat the learning process for problematic buttons.
• Volume/Channel Buttons Only Send Signal Once (Not Continuous):
  • This behavior can occur with certain device models or specific programming methods. If the remote does not send a continuous signal when a button is held down (e.g., for volume adjustment), you may need to press the button repeatedly to achieve the desired level. This is a characteristic of some universal remote designs.
• Remote Controls Wrong Device:
  • Ensure you have switched to the correct device mode on the remote before attempting to control a specific appliance.
  • If multiple devices respond to the same commands, you may need to reprogram one of the device slots or use the learning feature to assign unique commands.
