Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide the battery cover downwards and remove it.
3. Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding it back into position until it clicks securely.

2. Pairing with Devices

The Xfinity XR2 remote is typically pre-programmed to work with your Xfinity cable box. For controlling your television, follow these general steps:

• Automatic Pairing (for Xfinity Cable Box): In most cases, the XR2 remote will automatically pair with your Xfinity cable box upon battery installation. Test basic functions like channel change and volume.
• Manual Pairing (for Television):
  1. Turn on your television manually.
  2. Press and hold the Setup button on the XR2 remote until the LED light at the top of the remote changes from red to green.
  3. Enter the 3-digit TV code for your television brand. Common codes can often be found in your TV's manual or on the Xfinity support website. For example, for Samsung TVs, try codes like 120, 101, 102.
  4. Point the remote at your TV and press the Power button. If the TV turns off, the code is correct.
  5. If the TV does not turn off, repeat the process with a different code for your TV brand.
  6. Once the TV turns off, press the Setup button again to save the code. The LED will flash green twice.
• Troubleshooting Pairing: If you encounter issues, ensure your TV is on and you are using the correct brand code. Some Xfinity boxes may require a specific pairing sequence; refer to Xfinity's official support documentation for your specific cable box model.

Ensure your Xfinity equipment is compatible with RF control for this feature to function.

The LED will flash a certain number of times to indicate the battery level (e.g., 3 flashes for good, 2 for medium, 1 for low). Refer to Xfinity's official documentation for precise interpretations of the flash patterns.

Maintenance
