Using a Remote Control to operate your sign
A Remote Control is a hand-held keyboard used to operate a
BetaBrite

sign. Most of this manual shows you how to set up a sign and
program messages using a Remote Control.
A Remote Control needs two AA batteries to operate.
Press PROGRAM to put the
sign into one of these modes:
(Use BACK to move from mode
to mode and ADV to select a

text messages. (“A” is a file
name, from A to Z.)
• PROG DOTS A – for creating
graphics. (“A” is a file name,
from A to Z.)
• SET TIME – changes the
sign’s time.
• SET DATE – changes the
sign’s date.
• SET PASSWORD – used to
prevent someone from
changing your messages.
• CLEAR MEMORY – deletes
all text and graphic files.
Use SPACE to insert a blank
space between characters. (To
insert just a half space, press
SELECT.)
Press RUN twice to exit
programming mode.

at the front of your BetaBrite
