Setup

1. Battery Installation

The Qilive Q.1743 remote control requires AA batteries for operation. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide or lift the cover to open the compartment.
3. Insert the required AA batteries, matching the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Programming the Remote Control

The Q.1743 is a universal remote and needs to be programmed to control your specific devices. There are typically two main methods for programming:

Method A: Direct Code Entry

This method requires a specific code for your device's brand. Refer to the code list provided with your remote (if applicable) or search online for universal remote codes for your device brand.

1. Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV, DVD player).
2. Press and hold the SET button on the remote until the indicator light illuminates.
3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV1 for your television). The indicator light may blink.
4. Enter the 3 or 4-digit code for your device's brand using the number pad.
5. If the code is correct, the indicator light should turn off. Test the remote by pressing the Power button. If the device turns off, the programming was successful.
6. If the device does not respond, try the next code listed for your brand.

Method B: Auto Code Search

If you cannot find a code or prefer not to use direct entry, the remote can search for the correct code automatically.

1. Turn on the device you wish to control.
2. Press and hold the SET button until the indicator light illuminates.
3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., DVD for your DVD player).
4. Point the remote at the device and repeatedly press the Power button (or CH+ for channel search) slowly, waiting for the device to respond (turn off or change channel).
5. Once the device responds, immediately press the SET button to save the code. The indicator light should turn off.
6. Test the remote's functions. If some functions do not work, you may need to repeat the auto-search process to find a more compatible code.

Operating Instructions

Once programmed, operating the Qilive Q.1743 is straightforward.
