- Place the two remotes head-to-head, about 1-2 inches apart.
- On the Nettech remote, press and hold the button you wish to program (e.g., Smart Hub, STB Power) until the indicator light (if present) blinks or stays solid, indicating learning mode.
- While still holding the button on the Nettech remote, press the corresponding button on your original remote.
- The indicator light on the Nettech remote should blink rapidly or change color to confirm successful learning.
- Release both buttons. Repeat for any other buttons you wish to program.
