A list of common codes is provided in the quick setup guide included with your remote. The blue LED will blink twice and turn off upon successful code entry. If the device does not respond, try the next code listed for your brand or use the Code Search method.

Operating Instructions

Switching Between Devices

To control a specific device, press the corresponding device mode button at the top of the remote (TV, SAT, DVD, AMP). The remote will then send commands for that device type.

Combi Control

The Combi Control feature allows you to operate your TV, Set Top Box, and Audio devices simultaneously without switching modes. This is automatically configured during setup. For example, volume buttons will control your audio device, while channel buttons control your Set Top Box, regardless of the active mode.

Learning Feature

The learning feature enables you to copy specific functions from your original remote control to the Essence 4. This is useful for functions not covered by the pre-programmed codes or for personal customization.

1. Prepare Remotes: Place both the Essence 4 remote and your original remote on a flat surface, facing each other, about 1-2 inches apart.
2. Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the 'Magic' button until the mode indicator (blue LED) remains lit. Then press '995'. The blue LED will blink twice.
3. Select Button to Learn: Press the button on the Essence 4 remote that you wish to program (e.g., a specific function button). The blue LED will start blinking rapidly.
4. Transmit Signal: Press and hold the corresponding button on your original remote until the Essence 4's blue LED blinks twice, indicating successful learning.
5. Repeat or Exit: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for other buttons you wish to learn. To exit learning mode, press the 'Magic' button.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your remote control, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the remote's surface and internal components.

Battery Replacement

When the remote's performance degrades or buttons become unresponsive, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back, remove the old batteries, and insert new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the device's infrared receiver.
• Device not responding to commands:
  • Verify that the correct device mode button (TV, SAT, DVD, AMP) is selected.
  • Re-attempt the setup process using a different code for your device's brand, or use the Code Search method.
  • Ensure the original remote is working correctly if using the learning feature.
• Some buttons not working after setup:
  • Not all functions may be supported by the pre-programmed codes. Use the learning feature to copy these specific functions from your original remote.
