Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide open the battery cover.
- Insert two AA batteries (not included), ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery cover securely. Some models may include a small set screw to lock the battery cover; if present, tighten it gently.
2. Programming the Remote (Code Search Method)
The Brightstar BR100B remote is designed for universal compatibility with most televisions. Follow these steps to program your remote:
- Turn on the television you wish to control manually.
- Point the remote control at the television.
- Press and hold the "SET UP" button until the indicator light on the remote turns on and remains lit.
- While holding the "SET UP" button, press the "POWER" button once. The indicator light should blink.
- Release both buttons. The indicator light should now be solid.
- Repeatedly press the "POWER" button (approximately every 2 seconds) until your television turns off. This indicates that the remote has found a compatible code.
- Once the television turns off, immediately press the "ENTER" button to save the code. The indicator light will turn off.
- Test the remote's functions (e.g., power, volume, channel) to ensure it controls your television correctly. If not, repeat the programming steps.
Note: For some newer TV models, a compatible code may not be available.
Operating Instructions
Once programmed, your Brightstar BR100B Universal TV Remote operates like a standard television remote. Here are the basic functions:

Maintenance
