INTRODUCING Weemote®
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Weemote®! The Weemote® has been designed
for parents and children, ages 3-8.
Today’s remote controls allow your child to
select any channel while others give you some
control but are still too complex for children to
operate. Plus, with the advent of digital cable
services, your household is now potentially
exposed to hundreds of channels. Parental
control solutions like the V-chip are also complex
and take away control of program content from
the parent. The Weemote® is the result of
countless hours trying to design a product to
meet all of those challenges!
Since we all know that there is no substitute for
parenting, think of your Weemote® as an aid in
helping you control and manage what your
children see on TV.
You will need to spend a few minutes to program
the Weemote® for both the equipment you
intend to use with it (TV and/or SET-TOP Box)

INTRODUCING weemote®
as well as your choice of favorite channels.
If you started reading this guide first, please
refer to the Quickstart Installation Guide now to
to begin setting up your Weemote®. This
manual is used for reference only.
The next section of this guide is called “EQUIP-
MENT SETUP”. We suggest you review this
section to determine that the Weemote® will
work in your entertainment system.
Once you are finished setting up the weemote®
and hand it to your child, they will be happy with
their own remote and you will have had some
control over their viewing habits.
Since the weemote® is programmable, don’t
worry if you decide later to use the Weemote®
with a different entertainment system or with
different favorite channels. You can always go
back and make changes.
In short, the Weemote® represents a true win-
win situation for both parent and child! Kids love
to have their own remote and parents get to
make their own choices regarding TV viewing.

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
In some instances, you may not find a proper
code that works with your TV or SET-TOP box.
In this case, the Weemote® can send every
code available in it’s library to see if one of them
matches your equipment.
As a rule, you should not use this section until
you have tried every code number listed for your
brand TV or SET-TOP box. You should have
already tried all the codes listed for your manu-
facturer located in this guide.
1. Turn on the TV or Set-Top box, depending on
which device you are searching for.
2. Press the “TV” or “STB” button, depending on
which device type you are searching for. After 3
seconds of pressing the button, the LED light
starts to flash.
3. Press the “VOLUME UP” (top part of the long
yellow button) about every 1/2 second until the
TV or Set-Top box turns off. Every time you
press the volume up button, the LED will flash
once showing that a code has been sent to the
TV or Set-Top box.
You may need to press the button a number of

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 9
times, there are over 100 possible codes that
could work with your TV or Set-Top box. If you
go past all the codes stored in the unit, the LED
will flicker twice telling you that all the codes
have been searched.
If you end up going too fast and passing by the
right code, don’t worry. Turn the TV back on, go
back to Step 2 and then at Step 3, instead of
pressing the “VOLUME UP” button, press the
“VOLUME DOWN” button to search backwards
to find the proper code.
4. When you find the proper code that turns off
your TV or Set-Top box, then press the “TV” or
“STB” button to lock in the code, depending on
which device code you were searching for. The
LED should flash three times and then turn off.
5. Go back to the installation guide, Step 7 for
TV’s or Step 11 for Set-Top boxes to finish your
setup.
If you still have not found a match at this point,
please send us a trouble report on our web site.
SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 10
IDENTIFYING YOUR CODE
Once you have a working code, you can have
the Weemote® read back to you the code
number so you can write it down on the battery
sticker provided.
To identify the code, proceed with the following
steps. Be prepared to have a pencil or pen
ready to write down the code.
STEP A: Press the “TV” button or press the
“STB” button, depending on which code you are
trying to identify, for about 3 seconds until the
LED light flashes.
STEP B: Press the “TV” button or press the
“STB” button again, depending on which code
you are trying to identify.
STEP C: Upon release of the “TV” button or
“STB” button, the LED light will “flash back” the
code in the following manner.
The LED will provide a count by flickering the
number of 100’s first, then pause and follow with
a count of the number of 10’s, then pause and
follow with a count of the number of 1’s. Any
Zero number will be indicated by a fast flicker.

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 11
Using the example that the code is 102:
The LED will flicker once and then pause
(100 X 1 = 100)
THEN
The LED will fast flicker and then pause
(10 X 0 = 0). A fast flicker = 0
THEN
The LED will flicker twice and then stop
(1 X 2 =2).
THEN THE LED WILL GO OUT COMPLETING
THE SEQUENCE
STEP 7: WRITE THE CODE DOWN!
Once you have a working code, please write
down the number on the sticker located behind
the battery cover.

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 13
DELETE TV/STB CODES

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 14
SETTING CHANNEL 3/4
In most cases, your SET-TOP box tuner is set to
run with your Television tuner set to channel 3.
In some cases, your SET-TOP box tuner may be
set to run with your Television tuner set to
channel 4.
If your system is set to use channel 3, then you
will not need to do anything further.
However, if your system is set to use channel 4,
you will need to do the following:
STEP 1: Press the “TV” button for about three
seconds until the LED light flashes.
STEP 2: Press the “CHANNEL UP” button (top
of long blue button) once.
STEP 3: Press the NUMBER “4” (Pink) button
once to complete the setup sequence. The LED
light flashes twice and then goes out.
Go back to Page 13 of the Quickstart Installation
Guide to finish your setup.
NOTE: To go back to channel 3, simply
repeat the steps above except that in STEP 3,
press the NUMBER “3” (Orange) button.

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 15
SETTING UP YOUR TV CODE
ADDING THE ENTER OPTION
A small number of TV’s and SET-TOP boxes
require that the ENTER key be used when
changing channels.
The best way to tell whether you need to use
this option is to use your existing remote. Point
your existing remote at your TV or SET-TOP
box, and then change a few channels. Did you
need to use the ENTER button on that remote?
If yes, proceed with this setup, otherwise you do
not need to use this option.
STEP 1: Press the “TV” or “STB” button, de-
pending on which unit needs the enter option.
Hint: If you are using a SET-TOP box, then
press the STB button. After about 3 seconds,
the LED light will flash.
STEP 2: Press the “FAV” button once.
STEP 3: Press the NUMBER “1” button located
in the setup area next to the 100 and 10 buttons.
The LED light flashes twice and then goes out to
complete the sequence.
Note: If you go back and change the TV or
STB code, the ENTER option will be cleared.
Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 16
ADDING THE 3-DIGIT OPTION
The latest digital TV and SET-TOP boxes
support hundreds of channels. These units
typically require that when changing channels,
you enter three digits, regardless of the channel
number. For instance, channel 7 cannot be
entered as simply 7, but rather 007.
The best way to tell whether you need to use
this option is to use your existing remote. Point
your existing remote at your TV or SET-TOP
box, and then select channel 7. Did you need to
enter in 007 in order for the channel to change?
If so, then complete this section.
STEP 1: Press the “TV” or “STB” button, de-
pending on which device requires this option, for
about 3 seconds, until the LED light flashes.
STEP 2: Press the “FAV” button once.
STEP 3: Press the “100” button once. The LED
light flashes twice and then goes out to complete
the sequence.
NOTE: If you go back and change the TV or
STB code, the 3-DIGIT option will be cleared.

Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 17
MUTE/FAVORITE OPTION
The Weemote’s factory setting is to provide a
MUTE function which is assigned to the small
square GRAY color button located just to the left
of the oval Red “POWER” button.
If you want, you can reassign this button to
provide another Favorite Channel, giving you a
total of six Favorite Channels. To add a sixth
favorite channel:
STEP 1: Press the “FAV” button for three
seconds until the LED light flashes
STEP 2: Press the currently assigned “MUTE”
button
STEP 3: Enter in your Favorite Channel Number
as described on Page 7 of the Quickstart
Installation Guide.
STEP 4: Press the “FAV” button once again. The
LED light will flash three times and go out to
confirm your selection.
To return this button back as a MUTE con-
trol:
STEP 1: Press the “FAV” button for three
Need help? Go to www.weemote.com 18
MUTE/FAVORITE OPTION
seconds until the LED light flashes.
STEP 2: Press the small square GRAY color
button next to the Red power button twice. The
LED light will flash three times and go out to
confirm your selection. This button will now work
as a MUTE control.

CLEARING ALL SETTINGS
Some setups for the Weemote® can become
complex. If you get into trouble, sometimes it’s
just easier to start over.
Also, you may elect to use the Weemote® on
another entertainment system or you may be
replacing your existing entertainment system.
In all these cases, we suggest you clear all the
settings in your Weemote® before doing an
entirely new Setup.
To clear all settings:
STEP 1: Press the “TV” button for 3 seconds
until the LED light flashes
STEP 2: Enter the code 999 as follows:
Press the “100” button 9 times = 9
Press the “10” button 9 times = 9
Press the “1” button 9 times = 9
STEP 3: Press the “TV” button once again. The
LED stutter flashes about three times and then
goes out to complete the sequence.
Your Weemote® is now cleared back to factory
settings.

1. The LED does not light or flash.
Check to make sure you have installed the
batteries properly. Check to make sure that the
batteries are not dead or too weak to operate
the Weemote®.
2. The Weemote® powers on my TV or SET-
TOP but does not change channels or control
the volume or mute.
Check to make sure you have set the proper
code in the Weemote®. Sometimes a code will
only partially work. Make sure you fully test the
code as described in Step 8 or 12 of the installa-
tion guide.
Check your existing remote to see if you require
pressing the ENTER key when changing chan-
nels. If you do, then complete the section called
“Adding the ENTER Option.
If you have a late model digital TV or SET-TOP
box, please refer to the section “Adding the 3-
Digit Option”.

3. When changing channels, the channel
numbers that are sent to the TV from the
Weemote® are not the same as what I pro-
grammed in.
Check to make sure you have set the proper
code in the Weemote®.
4. Where are the TV, STB, FAV, 100, 10 and 1
buttons on the Weemote?
You must remove the setup cover before seeing
these buttons. Please refer to the installation
guide, Step 3.
5. I have tried all the codes listed for my brand
TV or Set-Top and I have tried searching for the
code but cannot find a match.
Chances are the code you need is not supported
in the Weemote® you are using. Please contact
us on our web site to see if we have an updated
unit available to support your equipment.
