3. Damage Requiring Service
The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
•Keyboard has fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
•The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
• The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
4. Servicing
The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that
described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be
referred to qualified service personnel.
5. Care and Cleaning
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust
your keyboard. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and with excessive
use of oil-based furniture polishes, materials on the keyboard will
accumulate more dust. A non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner / polisher is
recommended.
6. Power Source
This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label or in the owner’s manual.
Alternate Support Mode
Your keyboard is defaulted to
operate the RCA receiver with
UltimateTV service.
If you have a WebTV Plus or
WebTV Classic receiver, you
must change the switch in the
battery compartment as shown
to operate these receivers.

Your keyboard supports many of the features of the UltimateTV
and WebTV internet services. PIP functions are not provided on the
keyboard.
Your keyboard requires 2 new AA alkaline or zinc-carbon bat-
teries. The battery life may vary depending on what type of AA
batteries you are using.
1. Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Insert two AA batteries (included)
matching the batteries to the (+) and
(-) marks inside the battery case.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
Keyboard works on line of sight, so if there are any obstructions
between the keyboard and the TV or receiver, it will seem like the
keyboard isn’t functioning correctly.

If the wireless keyboard is not working properly, check the following:
•Make sure you're pointing the keyboard at the front of the device you want
to control.
•The wireless keyboard may need to be programmed to operate your TV.
•Check operation of the keyboard at a shorter distance to the
receiver or TV.
•Make sure there is a clear line of sight between the keyboard and the
TV or receiver.
•Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly.
•The batteries may be weak. Replace all batteries with new
batteries. For best results, use alkaline batteries.
•Check for electrolyte leakage in the battery compartment. If
leakage has occurred, wipe the affected area of the battery
compartment with a clean, dry cloth. Replace the old batteries
with new ones.
•If the channel keys are not working, press TV or WEBTV depending
on which device you are trying to control.
•Your keyboard is defaulted to operate the RCA receiver with
UltimateTV service. If you have a WebTV Plus or WebTV Classic
receiver, you must change the switch in the battery compartment as
shown to operate these receivers.
