About the Touch Screen
Battery Tips and Precautions
•Immediately replace the batteries when the battery
low icon appears.
•The SRC-3810 will not lose programmed data when
batteries are replaced, but will reset the time.
•Always use fresh batteries. Alkaline batteries are
recommended. Do not mix different types of batteries.
•Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) polarities
of the batteries match the diagram shown in the
compartment.
•Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or
flame.
•Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
•Weak batteries reduce the effective distance of the
unit.
•To reduce danger of leakage and damage, remove
used batteries when used longer than two years.
About the Touch Screen

enter the code menu. In the code menu, press and
to scroll through the code menu options:
•Pre-Code:use this method to automatically configure
all buttons on the SRC-3810 for use with a specific
manufacture model number. This feature is the fastest
way to program the SRC-3810 but requires that your
device be located in the Pre-programmed Code List
that was bundled with the SRC-3810. Some newer or
less-common devices may not be pre-programmed
and must be learned using the Learning Function.
•Learn:use this method to directly learn the proper
infrared signals from another remote control. This
method is perfect for newer or less common devices
or if a certain button still not does perform the desired
function after using pre-programmed manufacturer
codes; however, not 100% of codes can be learned
and it may be necessary to collect unrecognized
codes and send them to Sunwave. (See page 22 for
more information on unrecognized code collection.)
•Del Key:erases the key code
•Del Bank:erases the device code
•Debug:collects unrecognizable (un-learnable) infrared
codes for debugging purposes

SRC-3810 User’s Manual
Using Pre-Code to Program Devices
Follow these instructions to program a device using
preprogrammed codes.
Press or to select PRE-CODE，and then press OK.
Manually Selecting the Code
1. Turn on the device you want
to program the SRC-3810 to
control.
2. Select the device (for
example TV).
3. Check the preprogrammed
code list that was bundled
with the SRC-3810 for the
four-digit code number of
your device. If no code is
displayed, that means this
device has no pre-code.
4. Enter the four-digit code
number and press to
confirm the entry.
Note: If the code only has
one digit (for example, 0001),
you do not have to input the
preceding zeros; in this
example, press ‘1’.
5. Press the POWER button to
test the code. The device
you are trying to control
should turn on (or off) as you
press this button. If not, return
to Step 2 and try another
code.
You can also press or to increase or decrease the
four-digit code number.
