FEATURES

Your RadioShack Phone Up 4 Remote Control

lets you operate almost any infrared device in

your home from a distance. The Phone Up 4 can

replace up to four standard remote controls.

Unlike some universal remote controls, the

Phone Up 4 is preprogrammed and does not

need to learn its commands from the original re-

mote controls. All you need to do is enter the 4-

digit code for each infrared remote controlled de-

vice you want to operate. The Phone Up 4 is au-

tomatically ready to operate most of the same

functions as the original remote controls.

The Phone Up 4 Remote Control also has these

features:

Powerful Infrared Beam

— lets you operate

many remote controlled devices from a greater

distance than with the original remote controls.

Convenient Ke

pad Desi

— each control key

is in the perfect position for easy operation.

hted Ke

pad

— lets you use the Phone Up 4

even in a dark or dimly lit room.

Channel Scan

— lets you scan through all avail-

able channels on your TV, VCR, or cable convert-

er without having to press a button for each

channel.

Favorite Channel Scan

— lets you scan through

up to 10 channels you select.

Sequences

— lets you reduce a sequence of up

to 15 commands to a single key press.

Punch-Throu

— lets you control two different

devices without pressing the device key for each

one first.

HOW THE PHONE UP 4

WORKS

Before you begin to use the Phone Up 4 , it is

helpful to understand a little about how it works —

nothing technical, only an idea of what you can

expect from the Phone Up 4 and its different

groups of keys.

When you set up the Phone Up 4, its command

keys work like the keys on your original remote

controls. For example, a key labeled POWER

ON/OFF on your original remote control is equiv-

alent to the Phone Up 4’s

PWR

key.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to

power your Phone Up 4. We recommend alkaline

batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558.

cover tab and lift off the cover.

2.Install four AAA alkaline batter-

ies as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked in

the battery compartment.

3.Replace the cover.

Note:

Do not place objects on top of the Phone

Up 4 after you have installed the batteries. This

can press keys for an extended period of time and

reduce battery life.

When the Phone Up 4’s range decreases or it op-

erates erratically, replace the batteries.

Note:

Although the Phone Up 4 has a built-in

memory backup, we recommend you have fresh

batteries ready to install as soon as you remove

the old ones.
