(GB) Instructions

Viv.Control 3 + 5

remote control for almost all TV, audio, video and other

infrared-controllable equipment

1 Inserting the batteries

Open the battery flap on the back of the remote control, s. Fig.1.

– press the tongue lightly upwards, then insert 2 alkaline AAA

batteries. Check that the polarity markings on the batteries and

in the battery compartment are correctly lined up (+=+), then

close the flap carefully. – Always use undamaged batteries.

2 Setting label

Attach the enclosed label in your language to the back of the

VivControl so that you can still set the remote control should

these instructions not be available.

3 Adapting to appliances

In order to control your appliances you must adapt or set the

remote control to them. There are three ways of doing so: direct

control code entry, code search or learning the button functions

of original remote controls.

If your VivControl does not understand you it blinks rapidly

several times. Each understood entry is confirmed by an

appliance button blinking once briefly.

3.1 Direct control code entry using the enclosed list

Example: setting to control a Panasonic television set:

3.1.1 The enclosed list gives, for example, the Panasonic

Code 152.

Please make sure you have selected the correct list for

television sets (TV).

3.1.2 To prepare code entry, keep the

SETUP button

pressed until the lamp (LED) lights constantly.

3.1.3 Then press the required appliance button, e.g.

TV,

and the number buttons (e.g. 1 5 2) in sequence.

3.1.4 Once the numbers have been entered the button lamp

goes out and the remote control is ready to control your

appliance.

3.1.5 Finally, test the control code setting by trying to control (in

this example) your television set. If it does not work at all or not

correctly try a different code from the list or the code search (see

below).

3.1.6 How to set the remote control for other appliances is

described in part 3.1. ff. Instead of the TV appliance button,

press another button, e.g. VCR, SAT, CD, CBL, HOME).

Vivanco VivControl remote controls are TV+ remote controls, i.e.

under TV you can only set television sets or video projectors,

but any other appliance under the other appliance buttons.

The button decriptions SAT, ASAT (analog sat receiver), DSAT

(digital sat receiver), VCR, etc. are intended only for easier

orientation.
