3.1 Battery Installation

Slide the battery cover downwards to open.
Insert 2 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
Slide the battery cover back into place until it clicks securely.
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.
