NevoC2 / NevoC3 are fully featured universal remote controls from Universal Electronics Inc. They offer
full control of all your infrared controlled Audio / Video devices, as well as high-end features such as
Learning, Profiles, and Activities Control. You can setup your remote to control your devices by following
the simple on-screen instructions on the remote, or connect to a PC for adding advanced features such as
Activities and Favorites.
Inside the packaging you will find the following:
• Your Nevo Universal Remote Control
• Charging Cradle (NevoC3)
• AC/DC Adaptor for Charging Cradle (NevoC3)
• Lithium Ion battery (NevoC3) or3xAABatteries (NevoC2)
• USB Cable
• CD-ROM with remote software and User Manual
• Quick Start Guide
First, install the battery supplied in the packaging by matching the contacts + and – to the illustrations in
the battery compartment.
NevoC3 only: The supplied battery comes partially charged, but we recommend charging
the battery for approximately an hour before use.
To do this, connect the charging cradle to a power outlet using the supplied AC/DC Adaptor and place
the remote on the cradle. The display will show the “battery charging icon”. In order to fully charge
the remote, leave it in the cradle for approximately 4 hours.
To begin setting up your Nevo you have two options:
1) Follow the on-screen instructions on the remote while in front of the devices you wish to control.
This is the quickest method to set up the remote for basic control of your devices. For more
advanced setup, you can connect the remote to your PC once it is operating all your devices
correctly.
2) To use PC setup, including Activities, Favorites etc, insert the CD-ROM into your PC and follow the
install wizard. Connect the remote when prompted by the software using the included USB Cable.
To start using your remote at any time, simply touch it or press a key and it will respond and the backlight
will illuminate. You can adjust the amount of time the light is on for in the Settings Menu (see page 16).
NevoC2 and NevoC3 feature the following types of controls:
• hard keys on the remote’s front that let you control common device features.
• fully-interactive screen (NevoC3 features a Touch Screen) that provides functions for your devices
appropriate to your pattern of use.

Initial Setup
When you first power up your remote, it will enter Initial Setup Mode. In this mode, you will;
1) Choose which language you prefer to be displayed on the remote.
2) Next, you will be asked to select the region you live in. This will help the remote select
the appropiate IR library when setting up devices during the setup process.
3) Next, you will be asked to select whether the remote will display the time in 12 hour or 24 hour
format, and then to set the time.
4) To set the time, you can use the digit keys 0-9, or step through the hours and minutes using the Hour
and Min keys displayed on the screen.
5) Once ready, press “Finish”.
After this, a few Tutorial screens will be displayed in order to help you familiarize yourself with the remote.
Once the tutorial is complete, the remote will lead you through the steps to set up all the devices you
wish to control.
1) First, select the device type (e.g. TV) and then select the brand from the list of the top brands
for the selected device in your region.
If a certain device type or brand is not listed, set up all of your other devices, and then use PC setup (see page 18)
to add that particular device type or brand. If a PC connection is not available, you can also Learn a Device
using the original remote. For Learning, see page 13.
2) Once the brand has been selected, you can then search through the available codes for that
brand by trying keys on the remote. If the keys respond correctly, you can accept the current code
by pressing “Works”, or test the next code by pressing “Next”. When the device has been set up,
you will have the option to set up another device.
TIP: To quickly step through and test multiple codes, alternately press “Power” and “Next”. Once the device
responds to Power, stop and test other keys to confirm the code is correct.
Once you have set up the remote to control your devices, you will be asked if you wish to set a device as
the Master Volume control. This feature is useful if you always change volume using the same device, say
for example an AV Receiver.
Once Initial Setup has taken place, the remote will display the Home Screen.

Home Screen and Everyday Use
Favorites
To access the Home Screen at any time, you can hold down the “Home\Back” key for
2 seconds. Pressing this key once will take you back one screen.
The Home Screen of the remote will display the following options:
This key will give you access to your Favorite Channels. Each channel will have a key of its own and be
labeled with the name of the channel. It is also possible to upload your own custom pictures to use on
the key. When pressed, the key will send the necessary commands to select the chosen channel on the
device you use to select channels (for example it may send digit buttons 1, 2 and then 3 to your Cable
box). It is possible to have up to 72 Favorites set up on your remote.
Favorites can be set up using PC setup only.
To access the Favorites Screen at any time, you can press the “Favorites” key underneath the
screen.
This key will give you access to all of your Activities.
An “Activity” is a special mode that your remote control can be set into, where groups of keys can
address different devices to suit what you are doing at the moment. For example, if you create an Activity
called “Watch DVD”, you could set transport keys (Play, Stop etc) to control your DVD Player, but the
Volume Keys to control your Surround Sound Amp.
When you have set up your Activity, it will appear as a key on your touch screen. When this key is pressed,
as well as changing the function of the keys, the remote will send a series of commands to your AV
Devices to make sure they are in the right state for your Activity. For example, it would turn on the TV,
DVD Player and Surround Sound Amp, and then select the correct input on the TV and Amp so the correct
picture and sound are seen and heard. A series of commands such as this is called a Macro, and you can
define this at the end of setting up an Activity.
Activities can be set up using PC setup only.
To access the Activities Screen at any time, you can press the “Activities” key underneath
the screen.
Devices
This key will give you direct access to all the devices that your remote is set up to control. Once pressed,
you will see a list of devices to control (e.g. TV, Sat, Amp etc). Selecting a device will put the remote into
the correct mode to control the device selected. So if you selected TV, the remote will now act just as your
TV’s remote did.
The screen will also display a selection of keys appropriate to the current device.
Devices can be set up using the remote only (via Device Setup or Learning), or using PC setup.
To access the Devices Screen at any time, you can press the “Devices” key underneath the
screen.

The Learning feature allows you to add functions from the original remote control(s) to Nevo.
Your original remotes should still be in working order to perform this process. This process can be used to
add missing keys or replace existing keys on devices that have already been set up, or even to add a com-
plete new device to your remote. When the Learning option is selected, you will be asked if you want to
learn a function or learn a new device. The next step is to select a key to learn onto, and to point the origi-
nal remote towards Nevo and press the key on the original remote you wish to learn. Finally, if the key is a
screen key, you will have the opportunity to re-label it using the digit keys. The full procedure is:
1) Select “Learning” from the Settings menu.
2) If you are learning a function only, select “Learn a Function”.

want to overwrite it.
c. If a key function is learned correctly, it is saved to the memory and you can proceed to learn
another function.
d. If a screen key function is learned correctly, the remote will prompt you to save a label.
