Safety instructions
Before using the remote control for the first time, please read
the following instructions carefully and take note of the
safety warnings, even if you are familiar with the use of
electronic devices. Store these operating instructions in a
safe place for future reference. If you sell the remote control
or pass it on, always include these instructions.
This symbol indicates important information
for safe operation of the device and the
safety of the user.
This symbol indicates other important
information on the topic.
This remote control can be used by children
aged 8 and older and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they
are supervised or have been instructed on the
safe use of the remote control and understand
the resulting risks. Children must not play with
the remote control. Cleaning and user
maintenance must not be carried out by
children without supervision. Always keep
plastic packaging away from children as it
poses a suffocation risk.
If smoke is produced, or there are any
unusual sounds or smells, remove the battery
immediately from the remote control. In such
cases, the remote control should not be used
until it has been inspected by authorised
service personnel. Never inhale smoke from a
potential device fire. If you have inhaled
smoke, however, consult a doctor. The
inhalation of smoke can be harmful.
The remote control and its accessories must
not become damaged in order to prevent
hazards.
Ensure that no fire sources (e.g. burning
candles) are placed on or near the remote
control. It poses a fire hazard!
The remote control must never be exposed to
any direct heat sources (for example, heaters)
or direct sunlight or artificial light. Also avoid

SilverCrest SFS 18 A1
English - 7
contact with dripping water and splashes and
corrosive liquids. Do not use the remote
control near water. In particular, the remote
control should never be submerged in liquid
(do not place any items filled with liquid, e.g.
vases or drinks near the remote control). Also
ensure that the remote control is never
subjected to excessive shocks and vibrations.
Furthermore, no foreign objects may penetrate
the device. Otherwise, the remote control
could be damaged.
Operating environment
The device is not designed for use in
environments with a high temperature or
humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or in extremely
dusty conditions. Operating temperatures and
operating air humidity: 5°C to 35°C, max.
85% rel. air humidity.
Batteries
Always ensure correct polarity of the
batteries. Please note the markings on the
batteries and in the battery compartment.
Never try to recharge batteries and never
throw them into an open fire. Never mix
batteries (old and new, alkaline and carbon,
etc.) at the same time. Rechargeable and
disposable batteries may not be used
together. Remove the batteries if you will not
be using the remote control for an extended
period of time in order to avoid damage due
to leakage. In the event of improper use, there
is a risk of explosion and leakage.
Children
Electrical devices do not belong in children's
hands! Never allow children to use electrical
devices unsupervised. Children may not
recognise potential risks. Small parts can be
fatal if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed,
seek medical help immediately. Always keep
plastic packaging away from children as it
poses a suffocation risk.

First use
To be able to use the remote control, you must first perform
one of the following steps.
Programming via manufacturer's code
1. On the remote control, select the device (A or B) which
you want to programme.
2. In the code list attached to these operating instructions,
find the appropriate 4-digit code for your device (e.g.
TARGA 1268) from the relevant device group (e.g. TV).
3. Press and hold the selected device button, for example,
"A" (6), for approx. 3 seconds. Once the blue LED (4)
lights up continuously, release the button. The remote
control is now in programming mode for approx. 10
seconds. If no entries are made within 10 seconds, the
programming mode is cancelled automatically.
4. Now, enter the 4-digit device code using the number
buttons (12). If the remote control accepts the code
which was entered, the blue LED (4) goes out. The code
is invalid if the LED (4) flashes twice. In this case, the
remote control remains in programming mode. Enter a
correct code within 10 seconds.
5. After entering the code, check whether the buttons on
your remote control work correctly. If the remote control
does not work correctly, try another 4-digit device code
of the same manufacturer (e.g. TARGA 1276). Repeat
steps 3 to 5 until the remote control works correctly.
Programming via automatic scan
1. The device that you want to use must be switched on.
2. Point the remote control at the device. Press and hold
the selected device button, for example, "A" (6), for
approx. 5 seconds. Once the blue LED (4) flashes, the
remote control is in automatic search mode.
3. The "VOL+" signal is now continuously sent to your
device (code scanning function). Once the volume of
your device changes, press the device button "A" (6)
immediately to stop the automatic search mode.
4. If your device is a CD player, a tuner or a cassette
player, rather than a TV, a POWER signal is
continuously sent to the device. Once your device is

SilverCrest SFS 18 A1
English - 11
switched off, press the device button "A" (6)
immediately to stop the automatic search mode. Then
switch the device on again.
5. Now, check whether the buttons of the remote control
work correctly. If this is not the case, start scanning
again to find a suitable code.
Programming via manual scan
1. The device that you want to use must be switched on.
2. Point the remote control at the device. Press and hold
the selected device button, for example, "A" (6), for
approx. 3 seconds. Once the blue LED (4) lights up
continuously, the remote control is in manual search
mode.
3. Press the "VOL+" button (8) approximately every 1.5
seconds. Once the volume of your device changes or
the device is switched off, check whether the other
buttons on the remote control work correctly.
4. If the other buttons do not work, continue the manual
search by pressing the "VOL+" button (8) every 1.5
seconds.
5. If the other buttons work, save the code by pressing the
device button "A" (6).
6. The manual search is cancelled automatically if no entry
is made within 30 seconds.
Programming via the learning function
This function provides the option of transferring the code of
each button individually from your original remote control.
1. Press and hold the selected device button, for example,
"A" (6), until the corresponding LED lights up
continuously. Enter 9999 using the number buttons
(12). The remote control is now in learning mode.
2. Place the original remote control so that its IR LED and
the IR LED (2) of the remote control for seniors are
against each other with only a distance of
approximately 3cm at most between them.
3. First, press the button which you want to set on the
remote control for seniors. The LED then flashes
approximately 3 times per second. On the original
remote control, press the relevant button whose code
you want to copy. The successful transfer of the button

SilverCrest SFS 18 A1
12 - English
code is confirmed by the LED flashing rapidly 3 times.
The LED then lights up continuously again.
4. Repeat the procedure described in section 3 to set
other buttons on your remote control for seniors.
5. To save your entries and exit the learning mode, press
the device button, for example, "A" (6), again.
The learning mode is exited automatically if no entry is
made for 14 seconds.
Reading the programmed code
It is possible to read the code which is currently
programmed for device "A" or "B". To do so, you must press
a device button and, with a short delay, one of the number
buttons 1-4. Then hold down both buttons for approximately
2 or 3 seconds. Count how often the corresponding LED
flashes in each case.
Example for device "A" (6)
Sample code: 1268
1. For the thousands digit, press “A” (6) and “1”> LED (4)
flashes once
2. For the hundreds digit, press "A" (6) and "2"> LED (4)
flashes twice
3. For the tens digit, press "A" (6) and "3"> LED (4) flashes
6times
4. For the single digit, press "A" (6) and "4"> LED (4)
flashes 8times
All on/All off function
If you have programmed your remote control to operate 2
devices (A and B), this function allows the simultaneous
switching on or off of both devices with just the touch of a
button. To do so, hold down the On/Standby button (1) for
approximately 3 seconds. Both programmed devices are
now switched on or off.
Factory settings
You can reset the remote control to its factory settings. To do
so, press the buttons "A" and "0" simultaneously and hold
them down for more than 3 seconds.
Please note that all codes that were programmed and set
will be lost.

Troubleshooting
Device does not respond to commands
from the remote control
Check whether the correct device (A or B) was
selected on the remote control.
Check whether the remote control was programmed
with the correct code appropriate to your device.
Your device may not be compatible for programming
via the code list. In this case, programme the remote
control via the learning function (see page 11).
The batteries are low or empty. Please replace the
batteries with new batteries of the same type. Please
pay particular attention to the chapter "Inserting the
batteries" on page 9.
Cleaning / maintenance
It is necessary to repair the remote control if it has been
damaged in any way, for example, if the housing is
damaged, if liquid or objects have penetrated the remote
control or if it has been exposed to rain or moisture. Repairs
are also required if it is not working properly or has been
dropped. If smoke is produced, or there are any unusual
sounds or smells, remove the batteries immediately. In such
cases, the remote control should not be used until it has
been inspected by authorised service personnel. Only have
the device repaired by qualified personnel. Never open the
housing of the remote control. Only use a clean, dry cloth
for cleaning the remote control and never use any corrosive
liquids. Never try to open the housing of the remote control
as this would void your warranty.
