USER MANUAL m_4 Ruwido

Universal remote control

We congratulate you on the purchase of a ruwido universal remote control. Your new remote control replaces the original remote control of your TV, the remote control of your satellite receiver or DVB-T / cable box (also referred to as STB in the following) as well as that of your Bluray or DVD player / recorder.

Read all instructions carefully and retain the instructions for reference at a later date. Further information and additional instructions can be obtained at www.ruwido-consumer.com. If you have any questions you can call us on the ruwido information line 00800 31133113 at any time.

You can program your remote control using the operating instructions and the associated code and brand list, via the following methods:

a) by manual programming, by entering a four digit code from the code list,
b) by automatic programming, depending on the brand, by entering the three digit code from the brand list
c) by an automatic searching
d) or by programming the original remote control codes.

We recommend starting by using the manual programming method (a).

Inserting and replacing the batteries

Your m_4 remote control is powered by two 3-Volt lithium batteries (CR 2032). Insert the batteries in accordance with the markings on the battery compartment. Please take extra care to ensure correct polarity. Dispose of the old batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Note

Your m_4 has an internal memory to make sure that the programming is retained after changing the batteries.

We recommend that you always use new batteries. Never combine old and new batteries because the performance of your remote control and the service life of the batteries will be negatively affected.

General information

Your m_4 is fitted with a 5 second protection mechanism. When programming, you must press a button within a period of 5 seconds, otherwise the remote control reverts back to its regular operating mode.

Note A:

A short double flash of the signal LED confirms the input, a long flash indicates cancellation. If you enter a code number incorrectly, press any key and wait for a long flash of the signal LED. You can then continue entering according to the instructions.

Note:

It could happen, that during the search process, the m_4 finds several codes to which your TV set responds, but where all buttons do not function for each code. In this case, the search process should be re-started (steps 3 to 9) until you obtain the best code. Re-starting the search process starts at the last saved programming.

Automatic search feature

Alternatively, or if either in case of manual programming or with automatic programming, the correct code for your equipment cannot be found, you may use the automatic search feature.

1) Switch on your TV, satellite receiver or your DVB-T / cable box (STB), your DVD / Bluray player or recorder (DVD) and your audio equipment.
2) Press and hold the TW, STB (stb), DVD (dvd) or AUX (aux) button depending on the level that you wish to programme until the signal LED (D) flashes twice.

Note

It could happen, that during the search process, the m_4 finds several codes to which your TV set responds, but where all buttons do not function for each code. In this case, the search process should be re-started (steps 2 to 7) until you obtain the best code. Re-starting the search process starts at the last saved programming.

Code reader

The code reader can be used to display the codes that you have found in the search process so that you can make a note of them:

1) Press and hold the TV (v), STB (stb), DVD (vd) or AUX button depending on the level that you wish to programme until the signal LED (D) fl ashes twice.
2) Use the number buttons to enter the code 0 0 0 2. The Signal LED() fl ashes twice again.
3) Push 1 and count the number of times the Signal LED flashes; this is the first number.
4) Push 2 and count the number of times the Signal LED flashes; this is the second number.
5) Push 3 and count the number of times the Signal LED flashes; this is the third number.
6) Push 4 and count the number of times the Signal LED flashes; this is the fourth number.

Note

The Signal LED does not flash if the number is 0. The steps 3 to 6 can be carried out in any order and as many times as may be required.

Learn feature

Alternatively, or if either in case of manual programming or with automatic programming, the correct code for your equipment cannot be found, you may use the learn feature.

The learn feature may also be used if certain button functions of the original remote control are not included in the database.

Positioning the m_4 and original remote control (Range test)

In order to ensure that the remote control can receive the signal, both remote controls should be placed opposite one another with their transmission diodes facing each other. The distance between both remote controls should not be greater than 5cm .

You may use the range test to determine the optimal position for learning the codes:

1) Press and hold the TV (v), STB (stb), DVD (dv) or AUX (aux) button depending on the level that you wish to programme until the signal LED (fl) flashes twice.
2) Enter the code 0 0 1 1 using the numeric buttons. The signal LED flashes twice again.
3) Now, the signal LED lights up in orange and displays the quality of the signals received. Now place the original remote control and press and hold any button on it. Change the distance to the m_4 remote control until the signal LED lights up in green.

Note :

Orange light indicates readiness and that the m_4 is not receiving any signal. If the signal LED lights up in red, it means that the signal is too weak (too far away) or too strong (too near). If the signal LED lights up in green, it indicates optimal signal quality (optimal alignment for learning).

4) To end the range test, press the TW(), STB (stb), DVD (dvd) or AUX (aux) button that had been pressed earlier.

Note

The optimal alignment depends on the transmission strength of the signals by the original remote control and, hence, it may vary for each remote control. This is why you need to carry out the range test with each remote control from which you would like to learn in order to determine the optimal alignment for it.

Learning - Basic

1) Press and hold the TV, STB (stb), DVD (dvd) or AUX (aux) button depending on the level that you wish to programme until the signal LED (O) flashes twice.
2) Enter the code 0 0 0 9 using the numeric buttons. The signal LED flashes twice again.
3) Now, the signal LED lights up in green.
4) Press the button on the m_4 remote control that you would like to teach, e.g., standby()
5) The signal LED lights up in orange and indicates that the m_4 remote control is ready to learn.
6) Press and hold the desired button on the original remote control until the green signal LED goes off.

Note:

Orange light indicates that the m_4 is not receiving any signal.

If the signal LED lights up in red, it means that the signal is too weak (too far away) or too strong (too near).

7) You may repeat the steps 3 to 6 to teach (or programme) other buttons. To save and end the learning function, press the TV (tv), STB (stb), DVD (dvd) or AUX (aux) button that had been pressed earlier.
