Programming and using your remote control
Your Insignia universal remote control is
pre-programmed to control eight of the most popular
devices, right out of the box. If you have one of the
following devices, try putting the batteries in and
pressing the corresponding device button (for
example TV or STB), and then press a few function
buttons to see if your remote controls your device.
If your device is not one of those listed above, or you
have extra devices to set up, there are three ways to do
this. The easiest is SimpleSet which is used for the
most common brands and devices.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not spill water or any liquid on your remote
control.
• Do not place your remote control on a wet surface.
• Do not place your remote control in direct sunlight
or near sources of excessive heat.
• If your remote control is not going to be used for a
long time, remove the batteries to avoid any
damage that may be caused by leakage and
corrosion.
