Where’s the remote control?
How often have you settled down on the sofa to watch one of your favourite TV shows, only to find the remote control is missing! You search high and low; under the cushions, down the side of the sofa and under the pile of magazines before you realise that you’ve missed the first 5 minutes! All the while, the DVD player has been left on and the radio docking station is blaring out some music!
It’s time to take charge and control every audio-visual device, using this handy universal remote control accessory, which turns your iPhone, iPad or iPod into a remote. Problem solved!
Getting Started
Firstly, users must download and install the free Re Universal Remote Control app and watch the helpful introductory video available. Then simply connect the accessory to your chosen device (see compatibility options below) and you’re good to go! No batteries or Wi-Fi required. There is also no limit to the amount of locations that the remote control can be used, so feel free to take it to work or use when travelling.
