Using this remote is easy. Just insert 2 AAA batteries into the battery compartment (the batteries aren't provided). Once the batteries are in, you can start using it to control your compatible Panasonic TV. Press the Menu button to access the TV's settings, AV to switch between different input sources, Guide for the program guide, Viera Tools for extra functions, and Teletext for text - based information. Remember, there could be other TV models this remote works with, even if they're not listed. If it doesn't work with your TV, you can return it within 14 days. To keep the remote in good condition, keep it away from water and extreme temperatures. If the remote seems to be unresponsive, try replacing the batteries.
