2. Press and hold the SET UP button until the selected device button (e.g., TV) blinks twice.
3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV). The button will remain lit.
4. Enter the 3, 4, or 5-digit programming code for your device brand. Refer to the code list provided by Charter Communications or their online support.

6. Test the remote by pressing the POWER button. If the device turns off, the programming was successful. If not, repeat the steps with a different code.
7. Repeat this process for your DVD player, cable box, and any auxiliary device.
