Setup and Initial Use

The USARMT PHI-958 remote control is generally ready for use immediately after battery installation, requiring no complex programming for most compatible Philips devices.

1. Battery Installation

Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control (refer to Figure 2). Insert two AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Direct Use

For most Philips TV and Blu-ray DVD models, the remote will function directly once batteries are installed. Point the remote at your device and test basic functions like Power, Volume, and Channel.

3. Manual Setup (If Direct Use Fails)

If the remote does not work directly with your Philips device, follow the specific setup instructions below:

• For Philips TV: Press and hold the "Power" button and either the "1" button OR the "2" button simultaneously. Release both buttons once the device responds.
• For Philips Blu-ray DVD: Press and hold the "Power" button and the "3" button simultaneously. Release both buttons once the device responds.

These codes help the remote synchronize with your specific Philips model. Test all functions after performing the manual setup.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the remote control's performance degrades (e.g., reduced range, unresponsive buttons), it is likely time to replace the batteries. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new AAA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the remote. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
