REMOTE CONTROLS
Getting to know your Hotwire remote will allow you to browse through channels, record your favorite
shows, order the most popular movies with simplicity, as well as control all your other home
entertainment devices without leaving your chair. Your new remote allows you access to all of
our IPTV features.
In addition to controlling your Hotwire Set Top Box (STB), two of our remotes, the black ADB and the
silver Titan, have the ability to be programmed to control up to five other electronic devices (such as a
DVD and your sound system) with the red all POWER button, if the 5-digit peripheral device codes
have been programmed into the remote.
The Hotwire technician will program your remote with the 5-digit code required to have your TV and
Set Top Box respond. Each additional device (such as a DVD player) will also require a separate
5-digit code to be programmed into the remote. These codes are listed under “Programming the
Remote Control” in the book that comes with the Set Top Box.
Two of our remotes, the Titan and the Polaris are back-lit so you can see the remote buttons in
low light.
The Polaris is equipped with large number keys so that you won’t need your glasses to maneuver.
For simplicity, the POWER button only turns on your TV and Set-Top Box so you won’t get confused.
All three remotes are equipped to navigate the DVR system, if you elect to subscribe to this service.
The remote control Quick Guide Tutorial is also available on Channel 1 on your TV.
Please find the appropriate Quick Remote Guide on one of the following three pages to match
your remote.
TIP: Be sure your remote has fresh batteries. If your TV doesn’t respond to the remote control
signals, check the batteries. Keep fresh double AA batteries on hand and be sure they
are inserted correctly.
