Accenda Setup


Setting up Accenda is as easy as ... PIE:

Prepare Accenda

Insert four rechargeable AA batteries into the battery compartment, plug the cord from the power cube into the socket on the back of the charging cradle, then plug the power cube into a wall outlet and place the Accenda on the charging cradle. For best results, you should charge the batteries overnight prior to initial use.

IMPORTANT! When using the charging cradle, use rechargeable batteries only. The use of alkaline batteries with the charging cradle will damage Accenda.

The Accenda, just like any universal remote control, needs to be set up to operate with the entertainment components you wish to control. Once the Accenda is set up to operate with the components, you can then "train" the Accenda to recognize and respond to your voice instructions.

Accenda offers you several methods of set up for your specific entertainment system. The easiest way is to have Accenda search through the codes for the specific manufacturer you specify. You may select the codes yourself, or you may have Accenda search through its entire database of codes.

Method 1: Search by Manufacturer

  1. Manually turn on the device that you want control (TV, VCR, etc.)
  2. Press the device source button (TV etc.) for the device you wish to program. The button will flash green once. If sound is enabled, Accenda will respond with the button name.
  3. Press the [PROG] button (located inside flip-down door). The selected device source button will flash green twice. If sound is enabled, Accenda will respond by saying “Program.”
  4. Type in the 2-digit code for your TV, VCR, etc. manufacturer from the table on page 11. The source button will flash green once for each digit pressed. If sound is enabled, Accenda will respond with each number as you enter it.
  5. Make sure the remote control is aimed directly at the device you want to control.
  6. Press [SRCH]. The source button will flash once.
  7. Accenda will now search through its library of codes for the device and manufacturer you have selected. Every 3 seconds Accenda will flash the source button and test a new code by attempting to turn off the device. If sound is turned on, Accenda will say each device code number it tests.
  8. When the target device turns off, immediately press [PROG] (3 flashes)
  9. Test the device by pressing a variety of buttons to ensure they all work. Many devices use similar remote control codes and occasionally some instructions will not work properly. If this occurs, repeat steps 1 through 7.
  10. Repeat steps one through four for each device you wish to program: TV, VCR, Cable box, etc., up to six devices.
Helpful Hint: When you press TV, VCR etc., in step 2 above, the Accenda remote control will just search the codes for that particular device. If you press AUX, Accenda will search through all the codes in the database. If you have two different model TVs etc., and wish to save the code for the 2nd TV as AUX, press [TV] in step 2, and [AUX] instead of [PROG] in step 7 above. This will store the 2nd code in the “Aux” button. This will greatly reduce the time the Accenda will require to search for the proper code.
