Questions about the Big Button Remote

1. How do I get the Big Button remote to turn all my devices at one time?

1) The Master Power feature is disabled by default. To enable it press and hold any device button until the status indicator light begins to blink (Approx. 3 seconds).

2) Press and release the power button twice. The status indicator light will blink a confirmation (3 blinks). Master Power feature is now enabled.

3) Repeat the process to disable the Master Power feature.

NOTE: With Master Power enabled the remote will send the power on code for each of the devices SAT, CBL, TV and VCR in that order. All of the devices should be within the remote's operating range so they can receive their power code.


2. Do your remote controls have the sleep mode? Can I program the tv to shut off in 1 or 1 1/2 hours?

Our remotes are designed to work as many of the most commonly used functions on various devices as possible, however, there are many infrequently used options that are left out for technical and cost reasons, such as the sleep function for televisions.


3. Does the big button work on a dish satellite receiver?

Most likely it will operate your satellite receiver, however when looking for the appropriate code in the manual or online, for your particular remote, you will need to determine the brand of your satellite receiver hardware to look up the code. The code will not necessarily be listed by your type of service (DirecTV, DishNetwork, etc.), but by who manufactured the equipment.


4. We just recevied a Big Button remote and we do like the large buttons. However, we cant find any codes for DVD/VCR combination unit we have. Are there any codes to work with DVD/VCR combo units?


Unfortunately at this time, our Tek Partner and Big Button remotes do not work with the latest DVD/VCR combination units on the market.

6. I have recently purchased a Big Button remote to go with an INSIGNIA TV. I cannot locate the code to use even when I go through the POWER SEARCH mode. Can you provide the correct code for me to enable the remote?

At the present time there is not a code for the INSIGNIA brand TVs and TV/VCR/DVD combo units. Since thousands of new electronic devices are added every year, we do the best we can to keep up with all the new models and try to add the codes in our upcoming versions of the remotes.


7. I have purchased a BIG BUTTON but I do not have the code for my satellite carrier I need the code for DISH NETWORK. PLEASE e-mail a code.

You can try using the codes listed for Echostar Satellite. Dish Network makes the Echostar receiver.
