7. Test all remote functions (Power, Volume, Channel). If some functions do not work correctly, repeat the automatic search process.

3. Manual Code Input (Using TV Code List)

For additional brands or if automatic search is unsuccessful, you can input a specific TV code. Refer to the provided code list (often found in the product packaging or online).

1. Turn on your TV manually.
2. Press and hold the SET button and the POWER button simultaneously for a few seconds until the indicator light on the remote turns on.
3. Release both buttons. The indicator light will remain on.
4. Enter the 3-digit TV code for your brand using the number buttons.
5. After entering the code, the indicator light should turn off.

• Remote not working after battery installation:
  • Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
