An infrared universal remote control with six large backlit buttons designed for use with a television only. The remote recognises a set code for different brands of televisions and these are used to program the device. Not all brands available in Australia can be controlled with this remote.
* The buttons are large and easily visible increasing accessibility to those with vision impairment or reduced fine motor movement
* All six buttons are illuminated for 5 seconds when any button is pressed allowing the device to be operated by people with some vision impairment or in a darkened room
* The raised buttons may assist those with a vision impairment to locate keys using touch
* This remote control may be suitable for those with cognitive and memory impairments because it features only six buttons and four control functions (channel, volume, mute and power)
