The Tek-Pal Universal Remote Control was designed to be the easiest to use and easiest to see universal remote control for a television. With only 6 buttons, which are oversized and lighted, this palm-sized remote makes it easy to turn your tv on or off, adjust the volume, and change channels. No more sharp arthritis pains from using smaller button remotes.

The Tek-Pal is designed specifically for people who may be visually impaired, allowing them to operate their television from one large, lighted-button universal remote control. This remote control now works with standard televisions, televisions with a direct line cable, and televisions with cable/satellite boxes.

The Tek-Pal remote does not have an instruction manual, however, listed below are the simple set-up instructions for the Tek-Pal universal remote control:

Manually turn your TV set on.
Press and hold ON/OFF and MUTE buttons together on your Tek-Pal for 3 seconds until the indicator light above the ON/OFF button illuminates.
Press and release CH+ button repeatedly until TV shuts off.
Press and release the MUTE button immediately after TV shuts off to complete the Tek-Pal setup.
The indicator light will blink 3 times indicating you've successfully programmed your Tek-Pal remote.

Tek-Pal Universal Remote Control Specifications:

Measures: 5.5 inches long, 2.75 inches wide, 1 inch thick.
Weight: 5 oz with batteries.

Tek Pal Universal Remote

I purchased this item for my 90 year old Dad. The buttons on the regular remote were too small and too many of them for him to be able to manipulate. It was very frustrating. He is thrilled with the Tek Pal and it's simplcity. God answers prayers! Thank you for your speedy service.

Q: My mom has dementia and can't operate 2 remotes for her TV and cable box. I am seeing conflicting comments on Amazon; Mom needs a remote to turn the TV on, change channel and volume control. Would the Tek Pal large button remote work for her?

Asked by: Robbie Burns - 8/27/2017

A: The Tek Pal was updated this year to work with both cable boxes and TVs (the old models only worked with direct line cable TVs). The Tek Pal should work for her now.

Q: The remote doesn't Chang the channels it will do volume and off on can you help?

Asked by: Lucy - 7/28/2017

A: This means that you do not have it programmed correctly. One manufacturer can use multiple codes across their devices, but only one code will give you full functionality. You are probably off by just a code or two. Try re-programming.

Q: Used on a TV for my grandmother and worked GREAT! However, since she has passed, another family member wants the TV, how do I "UN-DO" the tek pal remote control's control on the TV so they can use a real remote, and I can keep the tek pal remote for the next elderly family member that might need it?
