TEK PARTNER

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

USER’S MANUAL

Congratulations! Your TEK PARTNER

Universal Remote Control is a state-of-the-art device which

integrates many different infra-red remote controls. The TEK PARTNER

is pre-programmed at the

factory, but you will need to enter a Device Code for each device to complete the program. Simply enter
correct device codes for your equipment and your TEK PARTNER

is ready to use! A Device Code List

is included in this User’s Manual. The TEK PARTNER

replaces up to 4 separate remote controls to

operate your infra-red controlled televisions (TVs), video cassette recorders (VCRs), and cable boxes
(CBLs).

HOW TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES

Your TEK PARTNER

requires 4 fresh AA-size batteries (alkaline batteries recommended).

Remove the battery cover on the back of your TEK PARTNER

Observe the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the battery compartment.

Insert the batteries.

Push the battery cover back in place.

NOTE:

When all batteries are disconnected, the TEK PARTNER

retains its setting only for 15 minutes. Should

you fail to replace new batteries in time, use a stylus or the tip of a pen to reset the unit. The reset button is
located inside the battery compartment.

You may now have to re-program your TEK PARTNER

. See SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNER

section.

MAIN FEATURES

SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNER

There are 4 Device Modes (TV, VCR, CBL, & AUX) in your TEK PARTNER

. You may setup the TEK

PARTNER

by the following code entering or searching instructions.

Setup by entering DEVICE CODE

Referring to the DEVICE CODE LIST, look up the 3-digit DEVICE CODE which corresponds to the
brands and models of your video equipment. If there is more than one DEVICE CODE listed under your
brand, try the first code with the following instructions:

For example, entering your TV’s code:

Hold down "PREV CH" and "ENTER" together for approximately 4 seconds until the status
indicator (located to the left of the "1" button) lights up.

Press a desired Device Mode Button (e.g. "TV").

Use the number buttons to enter your 3-digit Device Code (from the Device Code List) for your
TV. The indicator should go out immediately.

NOTE:

The status indicator will not blink while

entering Device Codes in step 3 above.

Turn on your device (e.g. TV), try the functions on the TEK PARTNER

. If your device (e.g.

TV) responds to your requested function correctly, you have entered the correct Device Code.
Otherwise, repeat the above setup instructions with the remaining Device Codes until your device
(e.g. TV) responds to your requested function.

Simply repeat the above procedures to enter the Device Codes for your VCR & CBL - (Remember
to press a correct Device Mode Button in step 2 above).

NOTES:

Any Device Codes can be entered into "CBL" & "AUX" modes. (i.e. The "CBL" & "AUX" modes can

be used to control TVs and/or VCRs). Simply press the "CBL" or "AUX" Device Mode Button in step 2
above and enter your 3-digit Device Code for CBL or other devices.

If the indicator flashes twice during the above procedure, a wrong Device Code has been entered. You

are required to repeat steps 2 and 3 again.

If you cannot find a correct Device Code for your equipment, see Setup by SEARCH THROUGH THE

LIBRARY section.

It is highly recommended, for future reference, to write down your Device Codes on the bottom label of

your TEK PARTNER

SEARCH THROUGH THE LIBRARY

If you cannot identify a correct Device Code for your equipment from the Device Code List, you may try
the code search method.

For example: Turn on your device (e.g. TV).

Hold down "PREV CH" and "ENTER" together for approximately 4 seconds until the status
indicator lights up.

Press a desired Device Mode Button (e.g. "TV").

Enter a following corresponding Magic Search Code, and your TEK PARTNER

is now ready to

start searching.

Magic Search Codes:

TV: 990 VCR: 992 CBL: 994

For example, press... ("PREV CH" & "ENTER" ... "TV" ... 990)
To search: Aim your TEK PARTNER

at the device (e.g. TV), press the "PWR" and

"VOL+" button alternately, repeatedly, slowly and patiently until the device turns off. (NOTE:
There are approximately 70 TV codes, 55 VCR codes, and 55 Cablebox

codes.) Once your device has been turned off, immediately press the same Device Mode Button
(e.g. TV) again to lock in the code and the indicator should go out. If the indicator flashes twice
after pressing the "VOL+" Button, you are already at the last code of the library. You may press
"VOL-" to search backward and repeat carefully the above procedures to search again. Simply
repeat the above procedures to search the Device Codes for your VCR and CBL keys. (Remember
to press a correct Device Mode Button in step 2 above).

NOTES:

TV, VCR, and CBL Device Codes can be searched and locked into "CBL" & "AUX" modes. Simply

press "CBL" or "AUX" Device Mode Button in step 2 and enter an appropriate Magic Search Code to start
searching.

Each time you press the "VOL+" button, the TEK PARTNER

will skip to the next code. Then press

the "PWR" button to send out a POWER signal trying to turn off your device.

If you failed to stop pressing "VOL+" in time when your device has been turned off, turn on your device

again immediately. Before the indicator goes out, press "VOL-" on the TEK PARTNER

to skip

backward. Repeat step 4 above and lock in the code.

If the power on/off function of your device is not infra-red controlled, you need to follow steps 1 thru 3

above and start searching: Press "VOL+" and another important function button alternately until your
device responds to the expected function, press the same device mode button again to lock in the code. e.g.
Press "VOL+" & "1 " alternately, or; Press "VOL+" & "PLAY" alternately until the device responds.

OPERATING THE TEK PARTNER

NORMAL OPERATION

Once you have set up the TEK PARTNER

for your equipment, it works like your original remote

controls. To operate, just aim it at your equipment, press an appropriate Device Mode Button and then
command the desired function by pressing a corresponding button on the TEK PARTNER

. The indicator

flashes during signal transmission and as confirmation of button touch. At your button touch, your TEK
PARTNER

illuminates the keypad for 4 seconds. You may see the keypad clearly even when you are

operating your equipment in a dimly lit area.

PUNCH THROUGH

Punch through allows you to operate your TV’s volume and mute functions and your VCR’s 6 tape
management functions without having to switch the device modes repeatedly even when your TEK
PARTNER

is in other operating modes.

MAINTENANCE

Do not expose your TEK PARTNER

to direct sunlight, high temperature, mechanical shock, or

liquids.

Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak.

Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your TEK PARTNER

Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not disassemble your TEK PARTNER

, it contains no user-serviceable parts.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

. My TEK PARTNER

does not work at all!

A. If your device’s main switch is turned off, the TEK PARTNER

can not operate the device.

A. Check whether batteries are in good condition, inserted properly, and are in correct +/- polarity. See
HOW TO INSTALL THE BATTERIES.

A. Make sure you have pressed the Device Mode Button before using any functions.

. If several Device Codes are listed for my device, how can I select the correct Device Code?

A. To seek the Device Code for your device, test the codes one by one until the buttons work properly.

. My equipment responds only to some of the commands.

A. You have set a code for which only some commands work properly but some do not. Try other codes
until the buttons work properly.

. May I setup the TEK PARTNER

to control more than one TV, VCR, and CBL at a time?

A. The TEK PARTNER

can control more than one device of the same type by programming the device

code in the CBL & AUX device modes (i.e. up to 3 TVs). See SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNER
