TEK PARTNERTM
UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
USER’S MANUAL
Congratulations! Your TEK PARTNERTM Universal Remote Control is a state-of-the-art device which
integrates many different infra-red remote controls. The TEK PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM is ready to use! A Device Code List
is included in this User’s Manual. The TEK PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM requires 4 fresh AA-size batteries (alkaline batteries recommended).
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your TEK PARTNERTM
.
2. Observe the polarity of the batteries and the "+/-" marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Insert the batteries.
4. Push the battery cover back in place.
NOTE:
When all batteries are disconnected, the TEK PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM. See SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNERTM
section.
MAIN FEATURES
SETTING UP YOUR TEK PARTNERTM
There are 4 Device Modes (TV, VCR, CBL, & AUX) in your TEK PARTNERTM. You may setup the TEK
PARTNERTM 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:
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 PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM
NORMAL OPERATION
Once you have set up the TEK PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM. The indicator
flashes during signal transmission and as confirmation of button touch. At your button touch, your TEK
PARTNERTM 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
PARTNERTM is in other operating modes.
MAINTENANCE
1. Do not expose your TEK PARTNERTM to direct sunlight, high temperature, mechanical shock, or
liquids.
2. Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak.
3. Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your TEK PARTNERTM
4. Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
.
5. Do not disassemble your TEK PARTNERTM, it contains no user-serviceable parts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Q. My TEK PARTNERTM does not work at all!
A. If your device’s main switch is turned off, the TEK PARTNERTM 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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q. May I setup the TEK PARTNERTM to control more than one TV, VCR, and CBL at a time?
A. The TEK PARTNERTM 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 PARTNERTM
