3.2 Programming the EasyMote
The EasyMote can be programmed using two methods: Quick Search (Auto-Scan) or Learning Mode (from your original remote).
Method 1: Quick Search (Auto-Scan)
This method allows the EasyMote to automatically scan for compatible TV codes.
- Ensure your TV is turned ON.
- On the EasyMote, press and hold the MUTE and CH+ buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds until the red indicator light stays on. This indicates programming mode.
- While in programming mode, repeatedly press the CH- button. The remote will cycle through pre-programmed codes. Observe your TV screen.
- When your TV changes channels, immediately press the MUTE button on the EasyMote to lock in the code. The red indicator light will turn off.
- Test all buttons (ON/OFF, VOL+, VOL-, CH+, CH-, MUTE) to verify full functionality. If some buttons do not work, repeat the process as the remote may have found a partial match.

Method 2: Learning Mode (from Original Remote)
This method is ideal for programming specific functions from your existing TV or Cable Box remote, especially for cable box channel control.
- Place the EasyMote and your original remote control on a flat surface, pointing their IR emitters directly at each other, about 2 inches apart.
- On the EasyMote, press and hold the MUTE and VOL+ buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds until the red indicator light stays on. This indicates learning mode.
- Press the button on the EasyMote that you wish to program (e.g., ON/OFF). The red indicator light will start blinking slowly.
- On your original remote, press and hold the corresponding button (e.g., ON/OFF). The EasyMote's red indicator light will blink rapidly, then stay solid, indicating successful learning.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all other buttons you wish to program (VOL+, VOL-, CH+, CH-, MUTE).
- Once all desired buttons are programmed, press and hold the MUTE and VOL- buttons simultaneously on the EasyMote until the red indicator light turns off. This saves the learned commands and exits learning mode.
- Test all programmed buttons to ensure they function correctly.
