How To Test Remote Controls With Your Phone Or Radio by sylvar02(m): 9:43pm On Nov 06, 2013
It's been a while since i've posted any tutorials here on Nairavoice.com I've just been busy doing stuffs is all now I bring to you a useful tip for testing remote controls.

Sometimes your remote control just stops
working and you feel like banging the
hell out of it to get it working (I know how frustrating that is) don't,just take some time to test if
the remote control still works at all.

And sometimes you might go to an electronic store to get a remote control this will be useful to you if you want to make sure it works.

TESTING REMOTE CONTROLS WITH PHONES
REQUIREMENTS:
A camera phone
(it doesn't matter if its a 0.5megapixel camera or a 100megapixel camera phone as far as the camera works)

Note:The remote controls make use of infra-red lights to send signals to the corresponding appliance, infra-red lights are not visible to the human eye but are clearly visible if seen through a camera.

METHOD:
(1)Open your phone's camera
(2)Set the remote control in front of it as you would if you wanted to operate your appliance remotely.
(3)press any buttons on the remote repeatedly.
(4)if you see blue lights flashing on the remote's ''bulb'' through your phone's camera that means the remote works if no lights at all,then get it repaired either by changing the batteries and cleaning the batteries' contact points with the remote or just get a new one.

TESTING REMOTES WITH RADIO:
Radios can also detect infra-red signals just like they detect radio waves.

REQUIREMENTS:
A Radio that has AM(amplitude modulation)/SW(short wave) mode.
METHODS:
(1)Turn on your radio
(2)set it to either AM mode or SW mode
(3)place your remote close to the radio's antenna
(4)press any buttons on the remote
(5)if you hear beeps on your radio then the remote works if you don't at first try tuning the radio to a different frequency if you still don't hear beeps then the remote doesn't work.
