5.3 Copying Your Original RF Remote Control

The converter can learn codes from your existing RF remote controls. This process is also referred to as duplication or pairing.

1. Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold button 1 on the WiFi remote control converter. While holding button 1, press button 2 four times. Release both buttons. The LED on the converter will now emit a short flash every 2 seconds, indicating it is in learning mode.
2. Position Original Remote: Place your original RF remote control next to the WiFi remote control converter, approximately 2-3 cm away.
3. Transmit Code: Press and hold the button on your original remote control that you wish to copy. Continue holding until the RED LED on the WiFi converter flashes quickly.
4. Save Code: While the RED LED is flashing quickly, press the corresponding button on the WiFi remote control converter (e.g., button 1, 2, 3, or 4) where you want to store the copied code. This saves the code.
5. Repeat for Additional Buttons: To duplicate a second or subsequent button from your original remote, repeat steps 1-4 for each button.
