Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the RM-VZ220:
Carefully perform the setup procedure of "Startup Guide. " If the RM-VZ220 does not
work, try repeating the setup procedure using another manufacturer's code (if listed
for your device). If you still cannot operate the RM-VZ220, try the Search function
(see "Searching for the correct code").
Aim the RM-VZ220 directly at the device.
Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VZ220 and the device.
Make sure you have pressed the correct Device Select button.
Check that the device has infrared remote capability. For example, if your device did
not come with a remote control, it probably is not capable of being controlled by the
RM-VZ220.
The batteries are weak, or not inserted correctly. Replace them with new ones or insert
them correctly.
