Setup
Battery Installation
The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included). Follow these steps for installation:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide open the battery cover.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery cover securely.
Initial Configuration (Code Search)
To operate your air conditioner, the remote control must be programmed with the correct code for your unit. There are two primary methods: automatic code search and manual code entry.
Automatic Code Search:
- Ensure your air conditioner is powered on.
- Point the remote control towards your air conditioner.
- Press and hold the "SET" button (or equivalent, refer to remote's specific button layout if different) until the code on the remote's display starts flashing.
- Release the "SET" button. The remote will now begin searching for the correct code, indicated by the flashing code changing rapidly.
- When your air conditioner responds (e.g., turns on, off, or makes a sound), immediately press any button (e.g., "OK" or "POWER") to stop the search.
- Test the remote's functions (e.g., turn on/off, change temperature). If all functions work correctly, the code has been successfully set. If not, repeat the process.
Manual Code Entry:
If you know the specific code for your air conditioner brand or model (refer to the included code list or product information), you can enter it directly using the numeric keypad.
- Ensure your air conditioner is powered on.
- Press and hold the "SET" button until the code on the remote's display starts flashing.
- Use the numeric keypad (0-9) to enter the 3 or 4-digit code for your air conditioner.
- Press the "OK" or "ENTER" button to confirm the code.
- Test the remote's functions. If they do not work, try another code from the list for your brand or use the automatic search method.
Note: Some codes for specific Mirage models (e.g., ABSOLUT X, XTEEL 12E, FUXION, etc.) are included in the remote's internal list. For other brands like CARRIER, LG, MITSUBISHI, SAMSUNG, SANYO, TRANE, YORK, MIDEA, and over 100 others, refer to the comprehensive code list provided with your remote or consult the manufacturer's support.
