Getting Started
with Your Smart Remote
The Smart Remote is much more than a universal remote control—it
provides you and your family with hand-held access to broadcast (analog/
digital), satellite, and cable TV Listings, program descriptions, news,
weather, sports, interactive offers, and information services through the
click365™ network from TV Compass Inc. This network provides updates
to program guides, device codes, and setup information, letting you browse
content, purchase products, or participate in gaming activities while using
your home entertainment devices.
The Smart Remote can control a virtually unlimited number of devices and
perform up to 255 user-specified activities. It has a built-in code library and
simple auto brand search to simplify setup. The Smart Remote also offers
special key learning functionality.

Adding a Device
The Smart Remote can control a virtually unlimited number of devices in
your home. To start controlling a new device, all you have to know is your
device’s brand. Then, all you have to do is follow the directions here to get
started. The remote’s on-screen directions take you the rest of the way.
To add a new device to the remote:
1. Press the HOME key. The Home Screen appears.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Devices icon and press SEL. The
Devices menu appears.
3. Press the Options soft key and select Add/manage devices. The Devices
Setup menu appears
4. Press the Options soft key and select New Device. The first New Device
menu appears.
NOTE: The rest of the menu screens you see as you’re adding the device give you
on-screen instructions to guide you along the process. To scroll through a page of
instructions, press the down arrow key on the remote. To clear the instructions from
the screen, press the Ok soft key.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the type of device you want to add. Press
the SEL key to select it.
NOTE: If you don’t see the type of device you’re trying to add in the list, you can have
the remote learn all of the original device remote’s keys. See “Creating and Learning a
New Device” on page 17 for more information.
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight your brand and press SEL.
Tips:
• Use the number keys on the bottom of the remote to enter the first letter of the
brand of the device your trying to add. These keys work like they would to enter a
text message on a mobile phone. This skips through the list to that letter. You can
narrow the list further by entering additional letters.
• If you don’t see your component’s brand in the list, press the Options soft key, highlight
Search all brands, and press SEL. This option searches the entire database for a match.
Chapter 2 13
Managing Devices
7. The Manual Search lets you test each code set on your own to find the
best one for your device.
Use the right and left arrows to scroll through the available codes and
find the one with the command set that most closely matches those on
the original remote.
Press the keys on the Smart Remote associated with the commands
listed for that code to determine if the remote is controlling the device.
For example, if you press the (power) key on the remote, the device
should turn on or off.
If the commands for major functions such as power, channel, and
volume work, continue with step 8. If these types of commands do not
work, continue to test other command sets until these functions work
using the Smart Remote.
NOTE: If the command set works major functions such as power, volume, and
channel but does not work other key functions you can have the Smart Remote learn
those key functions. See sections “Learning Hard Keys” on page 15 and “Learning
Soft Keys” on page 16. If none of the command sets work for the selected brand, you
can create a new device. See “Creating and Learning a New Device” on page 17.
8. Press SEL to save the current code. The device is added. If you want to
keep the name the Smart Remote suggests, press the OK soft key. If you
want to change the name, use the ENTER key to delete characters. Then
use the number keys like texting on your cell phone to enter letters and
numbers

First, the remote wants to make sure all the devices in this activity are turned
on.
TIPS:
1. Make sure the remote is pointed at the device you’re trying to turn on.
2. Wait a few seconds between key presses. It takes a few seconds for the
remote to turn your device on, and your device might take a few more
seconds to warm up.
Then, the Smart Remote wants you to teach it the way to switch inputs on
your TV. To do this:
1. Use the Smart Remote to switch your TV by one input (from Video 1 to
Video 2, for example). IMPORTANT: If you use arrow keys, make sure
you use the ones on the bottom of the remote!
2. Press the Next soft key.
If the sequence the Smart Remote tells you doesn’t match what you use to
switch inputs, press the Next soft key to try again.
TIP: If this screen tells you your sequence ends with [wait], try entering the
input sequence again and use the OK or ENTER key as the last step.
If you see this screen, you’ll need to try switching inputs again. Make sure
you use keys on the bottom half of the remote and that you’re pressing each
key firmly.
Chapter 3 25
Managing OneTouch Activities
Now it’s time for you to make sure you’ve got the input you want for this
activity. Each time you press SEL, the remote sends the right key presses to
change inputs. Press just once and wait for the Smart Remote to beep (or for
your device to react). This may take a few seconds per press.
TIP: Make sure there’s something playing on the device you’re trying to
watch or listen to. For example, if you’re setting up a “Watch DVD” activity,
make sure your DVD player is on with a disc playing, and that your TV
(and audio receiver you use it for DVD audio) is on and set to the correct
input to watch the DVD player.
The Smart Remote tells you when it’s switching inputs on your device. It
also beeps when it’s done sending the commands to switch inputs. Make
sure you wait for the remote to finish and your device to react before you
press SEL again.
The remote wants to count how many inputs you have on each device, so it
“bumps” you off the right input and watches how you get back to it.
Each time you press SEL, the remote sends the right key presses to change
inputs. It also counts the number of times you press, so press just once and
wait for the remote to beep (or for your device to react). This may take a few
seconds per press.
TIP: Make sure there’s something playing on the device you’re trying to
watch or listen to.
IMPORTANT: The Smart Remote tells you when it’s switching inputs on
your device. It also beeps when it’s done sending the commands to switch

Using Your WiFi Network
The Smart Remote’s Connect menu lets you configure the remote’s
connection with your wireless network(s). You’ve probably already connected
your Smart Remote to your wireless network as part of the initial setup
(described in the Quick Start Guide). The Smart Remote uses this internet
connection to download the latest software, program guides, remote control
database, news/weather/sports, and other data. The device and activity
settings on the Smart Remote are also backed up on the network. This
chapter shows you how to customize and troubleshoot your connection.
Using Your WiFi Network
4. Highlight your WiFi network’s name from the list of available networks
and press SEL.
NOTE: If your WiFi network name is not listed, try another scan. If it still does not
appear, see “Adding a Network” on page 35 to add the network manually.
The Smart Remote obtains an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the
network and connects to the WiFi network. The remote may also catch
up on any updates it’s missed, which may take a few minutes.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up other setup options if you

The Smart Remote can access guide information from satellite and cable
program providers as well as from broadcast analog and digital stations.
