devices without using codes. For more information, see

Mode Lock™
Your model RT-U50 remote comes “locked” in its cable
operating mode. To operate more functions on your TV,
VCR, DVD or AUDIO devices, see Section 10.
[DEVICE] Button
The [DEVICE] button operates only when Mode Lock™
feature is unlocked. When [DEVICE] is pressed, one of
the power buttons will light up indicating the current
device being operated. While the current mode power
button is illuminated, press a non-illuminated power button
to operate a different device.
[VCR / DVD / VOD] Button

Rew...) buttons between Cable (Video-On-Demand), VCR
or DVD functions.
Memory Guard™

seconds. This extends battery life in the event the
remote becomes lodged under or between heavy objects.

Low Battery Indication - when the batteries become low and
need to be replaced, the [CABLE], [TV], [VCR], [DVD], [AUDIO]

When this happens, install two (2) new AAA alkaline
batteries to restore normal operation to the remote control.
Your remote control has Memory Guard™, which eliminates
reprogramming after battery changes.

Your CheckMate® V remote is pre-programmed to
operate Motorola's DCT digital set-top terminals.

brand and model in the Cable Setup Code list. If you are not
sure of your brand and model, contact your cable operator.
