3.2 Pairing with RTS Devices
To synchronize the remote control with your Somfy RTS plug, socket, or receiver:

- On the back of the remote control, locate the 'PROG' button.
- Press and hold the 'PROG' button until the RTS device responds (e.g., a light flashes, or the device clicks). This indicates successful pairing.
