Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide open the battery cover.
3. Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Close the battery cover securely.

2. Programming the Remote

The Geemarc TV5 remote learns commands from your original device remote controls. An original remote is required for this process.

1. Place the Geemarc TV5 remote and your original remote control face-to-face, with their infrared emitters aligned, approximately 1-3 cm apart.
2. Press and hold the 1-2 button on the Geemarc TV5 remote for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicator light illuminates steadily.
3. Press the button on the Geemarc TV5 remote that you wish to program (e.g., Power button). The LED will flash slowly.
4. Press the corresponding button on your original remote control (e.g., Power button). The LED on the Geemarc TV5 remote will flash rapidly three times, then remain steady, indicating successful programming.
5. Repeat this process for all desired buttons (Volume Up/Down, Channel Up/Down, AV).
6. To program for a second device, press the 1-2 button again to switch to the second device mode. Repeat the programming steps with the second original remote.
7. Once all buttons are programmed, press the 1-2 button again to exit programming mode. The LED will turn off.
8. Test the programmed functions with your devices.
