Setting up the Remote-850
This section explains how to set up the Remote-850, how to install the batteries, and
how to configure the remote control codes.
Installing the Batteries
Four AAA size alkaline batteries are needed for the Remote-850. Ensure that you
insert the batteries with the correct polarity and the +/- signs of the batteries match
the +/- signs in the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment cover
before using the Remote-850.
How to Start Using the Remote-850
The Remote-850 is a smart integrative remote control, and paired with our
proprietary RemoteComm setup software, all settings can be done once and for
all easily and quickly.
There are two basic approaches that you can use to integrate Remote-850 with
your other home remote controls.
1 Download remote control codes from the Internet code database
The Remote-850 has thousands of pre-programmed code groups. Using the
Internet, you can automatically locate the codes that match your
household equipment.
2 Make use of the powerful learning feature.
With the Remote-850’s powerful learning capability, you’ll be able to quickly
install all your original remote control’s codes by pointing your remote
control’s transmitter at the Remote-850’s Intelligent Learning Eye.

Code Setup
This section explains how to use the Remote-850’s learning function to learn the
infrared codes of another remote control.
Read the following notes before proceeding to use the learning function.
Note 1:
The Remote-850's learning eye must be kept in
a straight line with the transmitter of the
original remote control in a distance of 2-4
inches (5-10cm).
Note 2:
During learning, please keep pressing each
learnt key of the original remote until a “√”
appears and two beeps are heard; then
release the key.
If an “X” mark appears, repeat the operation.
If desired, you can directly reassign codes to
keys with the learning function which will
cover the original codes automatically.
A key with mark means: This key had
code.
Note 3:
Except for the pre-setup
MCE/XBOX/PS2 device codes
for the Remote-850, other keys
for various devices can also use
the learning function.

15
(1) Access the Setup menu and select
「Learning」to begin learning
setup.
(2) Press the scroll key to select
the device you want to learn, then
enter the device to learn each
single key. Learning process for
both soft and hard keys will be
done and shown on the screen.
Note: A key with “ ” mark means:
it’s a hard key.
(3) Aim the transceiver of your original
remote control at the Learning Eye,
keep a distance of 2-4 inch. (5-10
cm)
(4) Follow the wizard which guides you
to learn the key one by one, or
directly select keys you want to
assign codes to.
(5) Press a corresponding key on
original remote until “√” appears
