4.2 Learning Function (Programming)
The SeKi Slim remote learns commands directly from your original remote control. Follow these steps to program each button:
- Position Remotes: Place the SeKi Slim remote and your original remote control face-to-face on a flat surface. Ensure the infrared emitters are aligned and the distance between them is approximately 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches).
- Enter Learning Mode: Simultaneously press and hold the POWER and CH ^ buttons on the SeKi Slim remote for a few seconds until the red LED indicator starts flashing rapidly. This indicates the remote is in learning mode.
- Select Button to Program: Briefly press the button on the SeKi Slim remote that you wish to program (e.g., POWER). The LED will illuminate continuously, waiting for a signal.
- Transmit Signal: Press and hold the corresponding button on your original remote control (e.g., the POWER button of your TV remote). Once the SeKi Slim successfully receives the signal, its LED will flash slowly twice, then resume rapid flashing. Release the button on your original remote.
- Repeat for Other Buttons: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all other buttons you wish to program (CH ^, CH v, VOL +, VOL -, AV).
- Exit Learning Mode: To exit the programming procedure, simultaneously press and hold the POWER and CH ^ buttons on the SeKi Slim remote again. The LED indicator will turn off.
Note: You can reprogram individual buttons at any time by repeating the steps above for that specific button. Ensure your original remote has working batteries and a clear line of sight during the learning process.
