Back to Contents Page Programming: Setting Up the Dell™ Premium Remote Control for TV Functionality Overview Using Direct Entry Using Automatic Code Search Using the Learn Function Overview The Dell Premium Remote Control can be programmed to control your television by using Direct Entry or Automatic Code Search methods. The remote control can also be further customized by Using the Learn Function. Upon completion of programming, refer to the Controlling the Television with the Dell Premium Remote Control section to use the remote control for television control.

Press and hold the TV button on the Dell Premium Remote Control. 4. Enter the code from the Remote Control Code List.

If there is no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand until the device responds to the remote control commands. If you try all the codes for your device brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. Using Automatic Code Search 1. Turn on the TV that you want to control. 2.

Using the Learn Function Once you have programmed your Dell Premium Remote Control using either the Using Direct Entry or Using Automatic Code Search method, you can customize the remote control to "learn" certain functions from your original remote control(s) that may not have been embedded in the preset code. Before starting the learning process, please consider the following tips: l Perform the learning process in low-light areas because too much ambient light might cause interference with the infrared (IR) signals of the remote control(s). l Use fresh batteries in both the Dell Premium Remote Control and the source remote control. To learn commands from a source remote control, perform the following steps: 1. Press and hold the TV button on the remote control, then press and hold the RECORD button on the remote control. Continue pressing both buttons until the TV button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. 2. Release both buttons. 3. On the remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function. The component button turns off and then back on. NOTE: If you press an invalid button on the remote control, the device mode button flashes 4 times to alert you. Repeat step 1. 4. Aim the source remote control at the bottom of the Dell Premium Remote Control from no more than two inches away. 5. Press and hold the button of the source remote control that has the functionality you are recording. Continue pressing the button until the Dell Premium Remote Control TV button light turns off and back on.
