Operating Instructions
Congratulations on purchasing this high performance easytip Z3
universal remote control. Great care has been taken over the
design and manufacture of this product and in normal use it will
give many years of satisfactory service. The following pages
describe how to get the best from your new remote.
Inserting and changing the batteries
Your easytip Z3 is powered by two alkaline 1.5 V batteries
(IEC LR 03, AAA). Wherever possible, ensure that new
batteries are used. Never mix old and new batteries
together as this will effect the performance of the
controller and shorten the battery life. Once the batteries
have been inserted, check that the red LED flashes when
any of the keys of your remote are depressed, this confirms
correct installation of the batteries.
Please Note:
Insert batteries following the markings on the inside of
the battery compartment.
Immediately dispose of any leaking batteries.
Dispose of old batteries as per manufacturers instructions.

1. Useful Tips before programming
your easytip Z3
In the back pages of this manual you will find the 4-digit
codes which allow you to set up your easytip Z3 controller.
After finding your brand of TV, Satellite or VCR in the back
pages of the manual, you will see alongside several 4-digit
codes. You should start with the first 4-digit code in the
list. If after programming this first 4-digit code your easytip
Z3 does not operate correctly, then move to the next 4-
digit code in the list until you have tried every code. These
code numbers are specific to the Z3 remote and are not a
reference to your particular model of TV etc. Each code
number in the back of the book performs a particular
function when activated. As you progress through the
code list against your brand of TV etc. certain controls on
the handset may not function correctly, this is perfectly
normal and can often be solved by continuing through the
other codes in the list. Do not assume that the first number
that operates your TV, Satellite or VCR is the correct and
final code. You must ensure that before contacting the
HELPLINE, you have tried and tested all the codes against
your brand of TV, Satellite or Video Recorder.

Function keys for programming
the 4 Digit Code
Since the easytip Z3 has not got a numeric keypad, the
function keys on your controller are assigned to numbers
as follows:
1 = Up
2 = Left
3 = (OK/Norm)
4 = Right
5 = Down
e.g.:
To enter the code 1353, press in succession the
following keys:
Up for 1
(OK/Norm) for 3
Down for 5
(OK/Norm) for 3
The combination of these keys equals the code 1353.

Volume – = 2

Two Ways of programming your Z3
• By Direct Code input from codes at the back of the
manual (preferred)
• By Search Mode (secondary method)
We would normally recommend using the dedicated code
numbers in the back of this booklet to setup your remote.
These numbers are particular to your brand of TV and will
inevitably give best results. As a secondary setup method,
your remote can undertake a complete code search. The
code search method is often used when a particular brand
is not listed, or when some features are not responding to
direct code input. As there are a great number of codes for
the unit to select and test, search mode can take upto 15
minutes to complete.
The 5 Second Rule
Your new easytip Z3 needs your help to get started.
We recommend that you study the step by step
instructions before programming the codes. The basis of
this programming is the 5 Second Rule. Each successive
action when programming must be completed within 5
seconds or the unit will revert back to normal operation.
This is deliberate so that other users of your remote will
not inadvertently reprogram the unit.

Quick Set-up Reference
Step 1 Insert batteries (checking correct polarity)
Step 2 Choose the device you want to control by turning
the adjusting ring until the printed ”TV”, ”VCR” or
”SAT” is inline with the pointer on the housing of
your remote.
Step 3 Switch on the chosen device TV, VCR, SAT. (if
setting up for TV, then TV must be fully on with a
broadcast picture on the screen)
Step 4 Press and hold the (F) key until the LED flashes
twice in quick succession.(approx 2 seconds)
Step 5 After the two flashes, remove your finger from the
(F) key and within 5 seconds input the code from
the manual.
Step 6 After you have input the code, wait for the LED to
flash twice, this confirms that the number you
selected has been installed into the unit correctly.
Step 7 Once the code has been installed, press the
(ON/OFF) key on the controller. If the (TV etc)
responds by going into standby mode then
continue to try all the other functions. If some
functions do not work correctly then move onto
the next code in the list repeating from Step 3.
What to do if the TV does not respond
• Either the 4-digit code, or part of the programming
sequence was not completed within 5 seconds or the
code was not recognised. Please re-check the 4-digit
code in the manual or move onto the next code in the list
against your particular brand. Also ensure that the codes
entered are from the correct section of the manual.

Programming the easytip Z3 in search mode
Note:
it is advised not to use search function before using the direct
codes at the back of the manual.
If the listed codes failed to operate the TV, VCR or SAT, or
if the manufacturer was not included in the manual, then
the search mode should be used. Search mode allows the
controller to search and test every code in its memory.
During search mode the remote is sending a signal to your
device every other second. If the unit finds a compatible
signal it will power down the device into standby mode. If
this happens then test all the other functions of the
remote. If some functions do not work correctly then its
possible your remote has found the first of many
compatible codes. At this point you should continue the
search until a more compatible code is found. As there are
many codes for the controller to select and test, search
mode takes up to 15 minutes to perform.
How to run the search mode (code 1111)
Step 1 Switch on your TV, Sat, VCR (each unit must be
fully on with a broadcast picture on the screen or
with a running video tape in the video recorder).
Step 2 Choose the device you want to control by turning
the adjusting ring until the printed ”TV”, ”VCR” or
”SAT” is inline with the pointer on the housing of
your remote.
Step 3 Press and hold the (F) key until the LED flashes
twice. (approx 2 seconds)
Step 4 Within 5 seconds input the code 1111 (up, up, up,
up). After you have input the code, wait for the
LED to flash twice, this confirms that the number
you selected has been installed into the unit
correctly.

Step 5 Search Mode for TV & Sat
Within 5 seconds after the double flash press and
hold the (ON/OFF), this will start the search mode.
You must hold this key down continually to enable
the search. Confirmation of the search can be
noted by the red LED flashing every other second.
If the remote finds a compatible code the TV will
go into standby mode. After this test all other
functions of the remote.
PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE FIRST CODE
FOUND IS THE CORRECT CODE.
Search Mode for Video Recorders (VCR)
When using Search mode for the VCR press and
hold the (STOP) key as opposed to (ON/OFF) key.
Instead of putting the VCR into standby mode, the
search facility will ‘park’ or ‘stop’ the tape from
playing (before using search the video recorder
must have a playing tape in the unit).
Step 6 After your TV, SAT has switched into standby
mode, or the video cassette has stopped running,
press and hold the (F) key until the LED flashes
twice. This will store the code.
IMPORTANT!
Code search begins from the last code number found in the
previous search. When the end of the code list is reached the
LED flashes 3 times in quick succession and the search
restarts from the beginning of the list.

Determining the 4-digit code found by
automatic code search (after using search
facility)
It is useful to know which code your device responded to
in case it is inadvertently changed at any later date.
Step 1 Choose the device you want to control by turning
the adjusting ring until the printed ”TV”, ”VCR” or
”SAT” is inline with the pointer on the housing of
your remote.
Step 2 Press and hold the (F) key until the LED flashes 3
times twice. (approx 2 seconds)
Step 3 After the two flashes and within 5 seconds input
the code 1112. After you have input the code, wait
for the LED to flash twice, this confirms that the
number you selected has been installed into the
unit correctly.
Step 4 To determine the stored code press the following
keys:
up for the first digit
left for the second digit
(OK/Norm) for the third digit
right for the fourth digit
After pressing one of these keys, count the number
of flashes emitted by the LED. As long as you do
not exceed 5 seconds between each process you
can press any of these keys as often as you want.
So you do not have to hurry or panic if you miss a
flash.
Make sure that you count the flash that occurs
including the initial flash when depressing the key.

Example:
After pressing the (Programme +) key the LED flashes
once. So the first digit of your code is 1.
After pressing the (Volume -) key the LED flashes
thrice. So the second digit of your code is 3.
After pressing the (OK/Norm) key the LED flashes
five times. So the third digit of your code is 5.
After pressing the (Volume +) key the LED flashes
thrice. So the fourth digit of your code is 3.
In this example the code is 1353.
Please make a note of the codes in the box below
for eventual reprogramming.

2. Special functions of your easytip Z3
To get the maximum out of your easytip Z3 universal
remote control some additional functions have been
included, however, to maintain the units small profile and
to save untidy printing on the remotes surface, some
function are operated by multiple key selection.
Switch to AV
To switch to an external device (e.g. VCR, DVD-Player or
SAT Receiver) connected to your TV it maybe necessary to
switch to the dedicated AV channel.
Check, in the manufacturers operating manual, if your TV
supports this function.
To switch to the AV channel do as follows.
Step 1 Press the (F) key quickly.
Step 2 Press the (OK/Norm ) key quickly.
Now your TV should switch to the AV channel.
If your TV does not respond, check if it really supports this
function and if you have found the optimal code for your
TV.

Menu control
To be able to change the basic settings of your TV and SAT
receiver, the easytip Z3 has an integrated menu control.
Check in the manufacturers operating manual, if your
device supports this function.
Menu control for your TV:
Step 1 Press the (M) key quickly. This opens the menu on
your TV.
Step 2 If the menu control works with your stored code,
the LED will illuminate continuously.
If, after pressing the (M) key, the LED flashes
quickly, then the stored code does not work with
the TV menu. However, it is possible to control the
brightness and colour with your remote. Please
refer to ”Controlling the colour and brightness”.
If, after pressing the (M) key, the LED does not
flash, then the stored code does work with either
the TV menu or the colour / brightness functions.
Step 3 Now you can control the menu by using the
(Volume +), (Volume -), (Programme +) and
(Programme -) keys.
Step 4 To save any changes in the menu press the
(OK/Norm) key.
Step 5 To quit the menu press the (M) key.

Menu control for your Satellite receiver:
Step 1 Press the (M) key quickly. This opens the menu on
your SAT receiver.
Step 2 If the menu control works with your stored code,
the LED will illuminate continuously.
If, after pressing the (M) key, the LED does not
flash at all, the stored code does work with your
SAT receiver.
Step 3 Now you can control the menu by using the
(Volume +), (Volume -), (Programme +) and
(Programme -) keys.
Step 4 To confirm any changes in the menu press the
(OK/Norm) key and to store any changes press the
(F) and (OK/Norm) keys in quick succession..
Step 5 To quit the menu press the (M) key.
If you are sure that your TV or SAT supports these

Controlling the Colour & Brightness
If the controlling of brightness and colour is not possible in
the menu and if your original remote has special function
keys for these functions, follow the instructions below.
Step 1 Press the (M) key quickly. The LED must flash once.
If the LED illuminates continuously, the menu
control is activated. To control the menu, refer to
”Menu control” above.
If, after pressing the (M) key, the LED does not
flash at all the stored code does work with neither
the TV nor the analog functions.
Step 2 To change the brightness press the (Programme +)
key, to change the colour press the (Programme -)
key. When pressing these keys, the LED must
illuminate continuously confirming that the
controlling is possible.
Step 3 Now you can adjust the chosen analog function
(brightness or colour) by pressing the (Volume +)
and (Volume -) keys.
Step 4 To quit the analog function mode just wait 10
seconds or press the (F) key.
Controlling (Programme +) and (Programme -)
With some, especially older, TV models it may be not
possible to switch channels by pressing the (Programme +)
and (Programme -) keys. Check the manufacturers
operating manual or the original remote of your TV if it
supports this function.

In case it does not, the easytip Z3 has an alternative
channel select function. It simulates the channel switch
function.
Step 1 Press and hold the (F) key until the LED flashes
twice.
Step 2 Enter the code 1122 (within 5 seconds). The LED
will flash twice to confirm correct input.
You can now switch the channels by pressing the
(Programme +) and (Programme -) keys.
If your remote does not work properly with these
functions, maybe the wrong code was programmed. If so
try the other codes in the code list or run the automatic
code search mode.
To deactivate this mode, repeat the two steps above, but
enter 1121 instead of 1122.
Controlling (Volume +) and (Volume -)
Since it is not always possible to adjust the volume at your
SAT receiver or video recorder, your easytip Z3 always
provides the (Volume +) and (Volume -) and Mute
functions of your TV, even if you are in the SAT or VCR
mode, therefore you don’t have to switch between TV,
VCR and SAT mode to adjust the volume.
Contacting the Helpline
The customer HELPLINE is there to assist you, however, to save
making wasted calls most common questions and problems have
been addressed in the manual. We strongly recommend you
familiarise yourself with the operation of the remote by reading
this manual in detail.

Troubleshooting
• LED not illuminating
Check installation of batteries.
Check battery life and replace if necessary.
• TV will not go into standby mode
Wrong code selected.
Search mode not completed.
The unit may not be compatible with your brand/type of
TV or your TV is no longer supported because of
increasing age. (If in doubt check with the Helpline)
• Programme + or – not working
Wrong code selected or not supported by the TV.
• AV Key not working
Wrong code selected or not supported by the TV.
• Your TV is not listed
It may still work, try the Search facility.
• Why do some functions work on some codes and then do
not on another?
This is because the remote simulates functions from the
original item. For example, some of the codes may
support Teletext as per the original, however, some
original remotes did not have this feature so under
certain codes, the Z3 will not support this feature either.
If this happens then try the next code in the list
• I found a code which puts my TV in standby mode but some
of the functions aren’t working correctly
You have found a code which is partially compatible with
your TV, this could happen even when using specific
code numbers against your particular brand, if so, move
to the next code in the list and try again.
• I have run through the Search Mode for at least 15 minutes,
but my TV/SAT/VCR has not responded at all!
It is very likely that your TV/SAT/VCR is one of the few
models that are not compatible with the Easytip Z3.
Please contact our helpline to find out if we can offer an
alternative solution.

1. Wie programmieren Sie Ihren
Easytip Z3?
Im hinteren Teil dieser Anleitung werden Sie 4-stellige
Codes finden, welche Ihnen ermöglichen Ihren Easytip Z3
auf Ihren Fernseher, Video Recorder oder SAT Receiver
abzustimmen.
Jeder Hersteller benutzt verschiedene Codes für verschie-
dene Modelle, deshalb ist es nötig, den richtigen Code für
speziell Ihr Gerät einzustellen. Wenn Sie den Hersteller
Ihres Gerätes in dieser Anleitung gefunden haben, werden
Sie feststellen, dass ein oder mehrere 4-stellige Codes
angeführt sind. Sie sollten mit dem ersten der aufgeliste-
ten Codes beginnen.
Falls die Steuerung Ihres Gerätes nach dem Eingeben der
ersten 4-stelligen Codenummer mit Ihrer Easytip Z3 nicht
funktioniert, programmieren Sie bitte den nächsten aufgeli-
steten Code, bis Sie alle Codes durchprobiert haben. Diese
Codes sind spezifisch für den Easytip Z3 und beziehen sich
nicht auf genau Ihr Fernseher- Video Recorder-oder SAT
Receiver Modell. Jeder Code im hinteren Teil dieser Anlei-
tung erfüllt eine bestimmte Funktion, wenn er aktiviert
wird. Während Sie die Codes Ihrer Geräte-Marke durchpro-
bieren, kann es sein, dass bestimmte Funktionen auf Ihrer
Fernbedienung nicht ausführbar sind, dies ist aber völlig
normal und kann beseitigt werden, indem Sie einfach mit
dem nächsten Code fortfahren. Der erste Code auf den Ihr
Fernseher, Video Recorder oder SAT Receiver reagiert muss
nicht immer der richtige und einzige sein. Vergewissern Sie
sich, dass Sie alle Codes in der Code- Liste für Ihr Gerät
durchprobiert haben, bevor Sie die HOTLINE anrufen.
