2. Programming Your Remote

Your Westek ZHL210MB remote is a universal remote and needs to be programmed to control your specific devices. While specific programming codes are not provided in this manual, universal remotes typically use one of two methods:

• Auto Code Search: This method allows the remote to scan through a library of codes until it finds one that operates your device.
• Direct Code Entry: This method requires you to enter a specific 3, 4, or 5-digit code for your device's brand, usually found in a separate code list provided with the remote or available online from the manufacturer.

Please refer to the separate code list or the Westek website for detailed programming instructions and device codes specific to your remote model (ZHL210MB).

To control a specific device (TV, DVD, or VCR), press the corresponding device button at the top of the remote. The remote will then send commands to that selected device.

• Press TV to control your television.
• Press DVD/VCR to control your DVD player or VCR.

2. Basic Functions

• Power On/Off: Press the POWER button.
• Volume Control: Use the VOL + and VOL - buttons.
• Channel Selection: Use the CH + and CH - buttons for sequential channel changes, or the number pad for direct channel entry.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Remote

The Westek ZHL210MB remote features Microban antimicrobial protection, which helps keep the surface cleaner. To maintain hygiene and functionality:

• Wipe the remote regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the remote or its antimicrobial properties.
• Ensure the remote is dry before use.

2. Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's performance diminishes or it stops responding. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the device's infrared sensor.
  • Verify that the correct device mode (TV, DVD/VCR) is selected.
  • Confirm the remote is properly programmed for your device. Re-program if unsure.
• Device not turning on/off:
  • Ensure the device is plugged into a power source.
  • Try using the device's original remote or manual controls to confirm it is functional.
