2. Manual Code Input

To pair the remote control with your air conditioner, follow these steps:

Manually plug in the air conditioner.
Refer to the "Code Table" (usually provided with the product packaging or available online) and find the corresponding code for your air conditioner brand.
Hold the SET button on the remote control for approximately three seconds. The three-digit code in the window will begin to flicker.
Press the Temperature Up (▲) or Temperature Down (▼) buttons to select the desired code. Point the remote at the air conditioner and press the buttons until the air conditioner responds (e.g., turns on or off).
Once the air conditioner responds, press the OK button to confirm the code. The selected conditioner type code will stop flickering, indicating that the setting has been saved.
Test all functions to ensure proper operation. If not, repeat steps 2-5 with the next code for your brand.

*Note: The remote control has a power-off memory function, so settings are retained even after battery replacement.

Cleaning

Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.

Troubleshooting

User Tips

Keep the remote control pointed directly at the air conditioner's receiver for optimal signal transmission.
Avoid exposing the remote to direct sunlight or high temperatures, as this can affect its performance and battery life.
If your air conditioner brand is not explicitly listed in the code table, try common codes for major brands or use the auto-search function if available (though not explicitly mentioned for this model, it's a common universal remote feature).
Store the code table or a note of your successfully paired code in a safe place for future reference.
