Congratulations on your purchase of the AT&T U-verse TV Point Anywhere RF Remote Control. This product has been designed to provide many unique and convenient features to enhance your AT&T U-verse experience. Your new remote control, along with the USB converter, provides you with the flexibility of no longer having to "point" your remote control at the U-verse Receiver in order to change channels or access any of the receiver features. Since this is a Universal Remote Control, you have the ability to program up to three additional devices, such as a TV or DVD player. Another key benefit of your new Remote is its ability to "learn" commands from the remote controls for your other devices. You no longer have to worry about finding the right codes or that your TV will not be able to work with your new Remote Control. As long as you have the original remote that came with your TV or other devices, you can now program those keys into your new AT&T U-verse RF Remote Control. Additional features for this Remote Control are described in the remainder of this manual. Note: The RF Remote Control only controls the AT&T U-verse Receiver with the USB Converter using RF (radio frequency) signals. All other devices are controlled with IR (Infrared) signals.

If there is any problem, the USB Converter can be swiveled up or down for optimum performance. 3. Setting up your Remote to control other devices (TV/DVD/etc) To control other devices, your RF Remote Control needs to be programmed. For older devices, the RF Remote Control contains the IR codes to control them. For newer models of devices (less than 6 months old) it is likely that the RF Remote Control will have to “learn” the IR codes. • If your device is older, start with Section 3A (Search for Device Codes). If Method 1 doesn’t work, use Section 3B (Learning Device Codes). • If your device is newer (less than 6 months), then start with Section 3B (Learning Device Codes). Quick Setup Guide 3A. Search for Device Codes The Search method will scan through all the IR codes to find one that works with your TV or other device. MODE KEYS STEP 1. Power on the device to be programmed. STEP 2. Point the RF Remote Control at the selected device. STEP 3. Press and hold a mode key or or along with the ENTER key. Hold both keys for one second, then release. The four mode keys on the RF Remote Control flash twice to indicate you are in search mode. SCAN FORWARD STEP 4. Search by pressing the SCAN \FF key repeatedly until the device turns OFF. (The selected mode key will flash once for each press of the SCAN \FF key.) Pause briefly between each key press to allow your device enough time to respond. STEP 5. Press the POWER button on the RF Remote to power the device back on. Quick Setup Guide Search for Device Codes (continued) NOTE: If the device does not turn off and you have searched all available codes, you will hear 8 beeps and the mode key will flash 8 times. If this happens, please start over at Step 2 or proceed to 3B, Learning Device Codes. NOTE: If the device does not turn on, you may have pressed the SCAN \FF key too many times. Press the REW\ SCAN key to scan backwards and test the POWER button again. STEP 6. Check VOLUME and and MUTE . Do not test using REW\ SCAN SCAN \FF EXIT CHANNEL and FWD or number keys. If there is any problem with any of the keys, press the SCAN \FF button and search until you find a code which will operate all the functions properly. STEP 7. Press the ENTER key to save the programming. The appropriate mode key will give a long flash with a long beep, indicating successful programming. NOTE: If the programming is interrupted or inactive for more than 15 seconds, the remote will emit 8 short beeps and the mode keys will flash. This indicates the remote has left the programming mode and returned to normal operation without saving any changes. Quick Setup Guide 3B: Learning Device Codes To use this method, you must have the original remote for the device you wish to program. STEP 1. Press and hold the LEARN 1 key until the four mode keys flash in sequence, then release. 5 2 STEP 2. Press the mode key 2 for the device you want to control. The other mode keys will stop flashing. The red LED 3 SELECT KEY TO LEARN indicator 4 on your U-verse remote will flash. 1 STEP 3. Place the RF Remote Control head-to-head 3 with your original remote (about 1” – 2” apart). STEP 4. Press the key you want to program on your RF Remote Control once. (The first key programmed should be the POWER 5 key.) After pressing the key to program, the green READY TO LEARN LED 4 indicator will light. STEP 5. Press and hold the corresponding key you want programmed from the original remote until the RF Remote Control emits a long beep, indicating it has “learned” the desired command. (For the first key, this should be the POWER key.) Quick Setup Guide Learning Device Codes (continued) STEP 6. Press the next key you want to program on your RF Remote Control once (VOLUME or VOLUME or MUTE ). STEP 7. Press and hold the corresponding key you want programmed from the original remote until the RF Remote Control emits a 1”-2” 5 long beep, indicating it has “learned and saved” the key 2 command. 4 1 STEP 8. To program additional keys, repeat steps 6 and 7. 3 STEP 9. To save the learning, press the LEARN 1 key. This will also exit Learning. NOTE: If the programming is interrupted or inactive for more than 15 seconds, the remote will emit 8 short beeps and the mode keys will flash. This indicates the remote has left the programming mode and returned to normal operation without saving any changes.
