Getting Started with the RCA RCR4258N Universal Remote Control

TIP: Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a satellite receiver, DVR•AUX for a DVR 

Installing the Batteries:

Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Press and push the battery cover back into place.

Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Backlight illumination (available on select models only)
enables you to see the remote control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination is toggled on or off with successive key presses of the BACKLIGHT key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off six seconds after the last key press. Once the Backlight time has expired, any key press will reactivate backlighting. If the Backlight illumination is on, and the BACKLIGHT key is pressed, the Backlight turns off.

The ON·OFF key powers components on and off.
It also lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns off when the key is released. The ON·OFF key also blinks in Programming Mode or in Menu Mode to provide feedback.
