Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide the cover downwards or press the latch to open it.
3. Insert two AAA batteries (not included), ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align with the indicators inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover by sliding it back into place until it clicks securely.

2. Initial Setup / Pairing

The KPH URC-8 remote is pre-programmed for many LG TV models. In most cases, it will work directly after battery installation. If your remote does not respond to your TV, follow these general programming steps:

• Ensure your TV is powered on.
• Point the remote at the TV.
• Press and hold the 'Power' button and the '0' button simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds until the indicator light on the remote blinks.
• Release the buttons. The remote is now in search mode.
• Test the remote by pressing the 'Power' button. If the TV turns off, the remote is successfully programmed.
• If the TV does not respond, repeat the process. Some universal remotes may require trying different codes or auto-search methods. Refer to the TV's manual for specific remote control pairing instructions if issues persist.
