Frequently Asked Questions - Big Zapper 00040072 HAMA

How to install batteries in the Big Zapper remote control?

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control. Insert two AA batteries (LR6/Mignon) observing polarity (+ and -). Close the cover. The remote retains settings even after battery change.

How to program the remote for my TV?

Turn on your TV. Press the SETUP key until the LED stays on. Press the device selection key (e.g., TV): the LED blinks once and stays on. Look in the code list for the 4-digit code corresponding to your TV brand. Enter this code using the numeric keys. The LED turns off after the fourth digit. Test the remote.

What to do if the remote does not work?

Check that the device is on and its main power switch is on. Make sure the batteries are correctly inserted and not worn out. Verify that you have selected the correct device (TV, STB, etc.) with the appropriate key. If the problem persists, try another code or perform a manual or automatic code search.

How to use the learning function?

Place the original remote facing the universal remote about 3 cm apart. Press and hold the MUTE and VOL+ keys simultaneously for 3 seconds until the LED stays on. Enter code 980: the LED blinks twice and stays on. Press the key on the original remote whose function you want to copy, then the key on the universal remote you want to assign. The LED blinks 3 times to confirm. Press SETUP to exit.

How to activate the channel Punch-Through function?

Press the desired device key (e.g., TV). Hold down the CH+ key. Press the other device key (e.g., STB). Release CH+. The LED blinks once. Now, the CH+/CH- keys will control the second device even if the first is selected.

How to reset the remote?

There is no explicit factory reset, but you can delete all learned functions: press and hold MUTE and VOL+ until the LED stays on, enter code 982, then press SETUP. The LED blinks 3 times and all learned functions are erased.

How to delete an individual learned function?

Press and hold MUTE and VOL+ until the LED stays on. Enter code 981. The LED blinks twice and remains on. Press the key on the universal remote whose function you want to delete. The LED blinks 3 times and the function is deleted.

Does the remote work with all devices?

The remote contains a code database for most TV and set-top box brands. If your brand is not listed, you can use manual or automatic search that tests up to 350 codes per device type. For some very specific models, no code may be available.

How to save batteries of the remote?

The remote has an energy saving function: it automatically shuts down if a key is held for more than 15 seconds. Use good quality alkaline batteries. Remove batteries if you do not use the remote for an extended period.

What to do if my device code is not in the provided list?

Try manual code search: in SETUP mode, press POWER or CH+/CH- until the device responds, then press MUTE to save. You can also use automatic search: in SETUP mode, press CH+/CH- or POWER to start search; the remote scrolls through all codes until the device responds. Press MUTE to store.

Q.Myuniversalremotecontroldoesnotwork!

A. Check the AV device. If themains switch on the device is off, the universal remote control cannot operate the device.

A. Check that the batteries are inserted correctly and that the polarity has been observed.

A. Check that you have pressed the appropriate device button for the device.

A. Replacethebatteriesifthebatterylevelislow.

Q. If there are multiple device codes listed for the brand of my AV device, how do I select the correct device code?

A. TodeterminethecorrectdevicecodefortheAV device, testthecodesoneaftertheotheruntilmostof thebuttonsworkproperly.

Q.MyAVdeviceonlyrespondstosomebutton commands.

A. Try other codes until most of the buttons work properly.

Q. The brand of my AV device is not mentioned in the codelist.

A. In this case, use the manual codesearch (Section 5.2) or the automatic codesearch (Section 5.3). During the code search, all codes for a device type are tested across manufacturers, e.g. all codes for STB receivers regardless of the manufacturer.
