For most people, the batteries in your TV-B-Gone® remote will last from 3 months to a year (though, of course, the more you use it, the quicker the batteries will need to be replaced).

Yes! All TV-B-Gone® remote controls come with batteries installed. These batteries are small, light weight coin-cells (so don't look for heavy triple-A batteries).

From our reserach we found we could put in two 2032 batteries instead (one in the B1 position and one in the B2 position), which are bigger, longer lasting and almost the same price. So we will be putting these in the new models and recommend it when replacing the batteries in all TV-B-Gone models.

Most TVs will turn on or off within a few seconds. But it may take up to 69 seconds for your TV-B-Gone® to reach the POWER code for your TV in its extensive database. We organized the codes to put the most popular ones first. Yes. Your TV-B-Gone® remote control will turn your TV on or off, also if you are playing a video or DVD. TV-B-Gone® remotes will work on all types of remotely controllable TVs, no matter what type of screen they use.

No. Because TV-B-Gone® remotes work by infra-red (IR) light, it won't go through walls, ceilings, people, or other objects.

Sometimes. Even though glass is transparent to visible light, not all glass is transparent to infra-red (IR) invisible light. TV-B-Gone®, like other remote controls, uses IR light, and so, it will go through some glass, and not others. Try it and see...

The maximum distance that TVs will respond is 20–50 feet (6–meters), depending upon their make and model,and of course depending upon the angle of aim of the user. While the device itself has a 30 degree line of action, the receptor on the TV may be very narrow.

When other people gather for the purpose of watching TV together – say, in a sports bar – we see no reason to interrupt their pleasure. But TVs are often kept turned on without anyone consciously paying any attention to them, or sometimes without anyone wanting them on. TV-B-Gone® remotes work on TVs in those places too - laundromats, waiting rooms, shops, restaurants.

It also works well in Australia and New Zealand.

The sounds and images from TV that constantly bombard us everywhere we go have a powerful effect on us. Through repetition, we remember the many messages about ourselves and our world that we receive from this potent medium. We may feel better if we have the ability to manage our environment, the impressions that we are exposed to, allowing us to more easily create our own messages and ideas.

There are three main video formats currently in use: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. If your country uses NTSC video, then the North American/Asian model should work. If your country uses PAL or SECAM video, then the European model should work. There is actually no direct connection between NTSC, PAL, or SECAM, and the methods TV manufacturers use for encoding the remote control POWER signal.

Aim the RM-1 Remote Control at the Remote Control Receiver and press the [W] button on the RM-1 to open the shutter. The shutter will not be released if the subject is not in focus. The photographer should stand behind or to one side of the camera so that the autofocus does not focus on the photographer. Under bright light conditions, the remote control lamp may be difficult to see, making it hard to determine whether or not the picture has been taken.

The internal batteries of the AbioCor are sized for a one-half hour operation at implant, allowing patients to conduct activities, such as taking a shower, without an external power source or battery pack. External battery packs can be used for many hours depending on the number of battery packs carried.

Battery life is dependent on many conditions. Three to five years is the expected life span of the batteries.
