█ General DescriptionThe Mercury II or Dynamic universal remote supports a total of 47 regular transmitting keys. Page Up/Down keys are counted as 2 keys. The POWER key is backlit with an LED key, which gives visual feedback to the user and provides a means to access the programming features of the remote. In addition, there are 4 device keys (TV, VCR, DVD and STB). The remote is primarily used for controlling the Fortec Star Mercury II or Dynamic FTA receiver, but it can also control most of the popular brands of TVs, VCRs, DVDs, and STBs being used in North America as per the codes listed on the code list at the end of this document.Due to the growing number of device models available, this remote may not work for all models. █ Basic Remote OperationThe LED backlit POWER key, located at the top left remote control indicates transmission of an IR signal has occurred. In addition, the LED key provides feedback when the remote is in a programming mode and as a key to be pressed to enter the various programming modes. This remote communicates using Infrared (IR) Transmission. IR transmission is accomplished with an IR LED on the top end of the unit. █ Battery InstallationTwo AAA batteries power the remote, which are included with the remote. After installing the batteries, the LED in the power button will flash when any key is pressed. █ Programming Your Remote ControlThere are three (3) ways to program your remote control: 1) Manual Programming 2) Code Search Programming 3) Auto Scan Programming 1. Manual Programming To program your Mercury II or Dynamic 4-in-1 remote control manually, follow thesteps below: a. Turn on the device to be operated (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB). b. Press and hold both the corresponding device key (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB) and the OK key at the same time for about 3 seconds until the LED stays on.c. While the LED is on, point the remote at your device and enter the three-digit code number from the brand list one after another using the numeric keys on the remote until your device (TV, VCR, DVD or STB) turns off. d. If your device turns off, press and release the POWER key on the remote one more time to ensure your device responds to the remote. 2 e. Then, press and release the device key (TV, VCR, DVD or STB) again. The LED lamp will blink three (3) times. This will indicate the remote is correctly set for that device. It will also take the remote out of the programming mode. f. Test the other buttons (especially numeric keys) to see if the remote operates all the functions of your device. If it does, you’re finished. If it does not, repeat steps a. . e. until you find the correct code for your device. *Note: . During programming, if no key is pressed within 20 seconds of the previous keystrokes, the remote will exit the programming mode. 2. Code Search Programming To program your remote using Code Search Programming, follow the steps below: a. Turn on the device to be operated (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB). b. Press and hold the device key to be operated (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB) and the OK key at the same time and hold both for about 3 seconds until the LED stays on. c. Point the remote at your device, then press and release the CH+ [or CH-] key to increase [or decrease] the code number by one digit. Continue pressing and releasing the CH+ [or CH-] key until the equipment turns off. You may need to do this for several minutes while the remote searches for the correct code. d. When the device turns off, press and release the POWER button to ensure your device responds to the remote.
e. Then, press and release the device key (TV, VCR, DVD or STB) one more time. The LED will blinks three (3) times. This will indicate the remote is correctly set for that device. It will also take the remote out of the programming mode.
g. Test the other buttons (especially numeric keys) to see if the remote operates all of the functions of your device. If it does, you’re finished. If it does not, repeats steps a. . e. until you find the correct code for your device. *Note: During programming, if no key is pressed within 20 seconds of the previous keystrokes, the remote will exit the programming mode. 3.Auto Scan Programming To program your remote using Auto Scan Programming, follow the steps below: a. Turn on your device (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB). b. Press and hold the device key to be operated (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB) and the OK key at the same time and hold for about 3 seconds until the LED stays on. c. Point the remote at your device, then press and release the PLAY button. The remote will start to scan the codes one by one. Wait until your device turns off. You may need to wait for several minutes until the remote finds the correct code. [If the remote completely scans all the codes for the corresponding device, the LED will stay on. 3 d. When the device turns off, press and release the STOP button to stop scanning for the code. Then press and release the POWER button to ensure your device responds to the remote. e. Then, press and release the device key (TV, VCR, DVD or STB) one more time. The LED will blink three (3) times. This will indicate the remote is correctly set for that device. It will also take the remote out of the programming mode. f. Test the other buttons (especially numeric keys) to see if the remote operates all of the functions of your device. If it does, you’re finished. If it does not, repeats steps a. . e. until you find the correct code for your device. *Note: During programming, if no key is pressed within 20 seconds of the previous keystrokes, the remote will exit the programming mode. █ Reading the Setup CodeIf you forget which code your equipment used, or if you want to know which code the remote found during the Code Search Programming, you can read the code by the following steps: a. Press and hold the corresponding device key (TV, VCR, DVD, or STB) and the OK key at the same time for about 3 seconds until the LED stays on. b. Press and release the INFO key.
c. Press the numeric key 1 and count the number of blinks of the red LED. This number represents the 1 st digit of the 3 digit coded. Press numeric key 2 and count the number of blinks of the red LED. This number represents the 2nd digit of the 3-digit code. e. Press numeric key 3 and count the number of blinks of the red LED. This number represents the 3rd digit of the 3-digit code.
f. Press the corresponding device key to get out of the Reading Setup Code mode. The red LED will turn off indicating you are out of the Reading Setup Code mode. *Note: If the corresponding number is zero (0), the red LED will blink for a very short time. Ex) If the corresponding code number is"032", the LED blink back will be as follows; Key pressed LED Blinks Digit "1" 1 blink for very short time [50mS] Digit "2" 3 times Digit "3" 2 times █ Sleep ModeIf any one of the keys are pressed and held for longer than 60 seconds continuously, the remote will stop transmitting the IR signal and enter the sleep mode. This is to protect the batteries and the IR circuit. 4 █ Device code list by brand:
