Troubleshooting the RCA RCU300TMS SystemLink3 Universal Remote Control
Why isn't the RCU300TMS remote operating my component?	You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key so the remote knows which component you want to operate. Make sure the batteries are fresh and properly installed. Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required. Make sure you have tried all the codes listed for your brand of component. Try the Code Search method on page 9 of the user manual. You may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. The remote sends the code, and the component’s IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the component you are trying to operate.
