Programming the Remote Control (Learning Function)
The Simply Numeric remote uses a learning function to copy signals from your original remote control. This process takes less than a minute per button.

Important Considerations:
- You must have a functional original remote control for the device you wish to control. This remote cannot be programmed if your original remote is not working.
- The Simply Numeric remote is compatible with most infrared (IR) televisions and electronic devices.
Step-by-Step Programming:
- Prepare Remotes: Place the Simply Numeric remote and your original remote control on a flat surface, facing each other, with their infrared emitters aligned at a distance of approximately 1-3 cm (0.4-1.2 inches).
- Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the POWER button on the Simply Numeric remote for approximately 5 seconds until the red LED indicator light starts blinking slowly. This indicates it is in learning mode.
- Select Button to Program: Press the button on the Simply Numeric remote that you wish to program (e.g., 'Volume Up'). The LED will blink faster, waiting for a signal.
- Transmit Signal: Press and hold down the corresponding button on your original remote control (e.g., 'Volume Up') for several seconds. Continue holding until the LED on the Simply Numeric remote blinks rapidly three times and then stays solid. This confirms the signal has been learned.
- Repeat for Other Buttons: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all other buttons you wish to program (e.g., Channel Up/Down, Numeric keys, AV).
- Exit Learning Mode: Once all desired buttons are programmed, press the POWER button on the Simply Numeric remote again to exit learning mode. The LED indicator will turn off.
Tip: If the LED does not blink rapidly three times and stay solid, the signal may not have been learned correctly. Ensure the remotes are properly aligned and try again, holding the original remote's button for a longer duration (up to 5 seconds or until the Simply Numeric remote's LED stops blinking).
Programming for Two Devices (A/B Buttons):
The remote can control two different devices by utilizing the 'A' and 'B' buttons. Each button acts as a selector for a different set of programmed commands.
- To program commands for Device 1, follow the steps above, but before selecting a button to program (step 3), press the A button. The LED next to 'A' will light up.
- To program commands for Device 2, follow the steps above, but before selecting a button to program (step 3), press the B button. The LED next to 'B' will light up.
- You can program different functions for the same physical button (e.g., 'Volume Up') under the 'A' and 'B' profiles, allowing you to control two distinct devices (e.g., TV and Set-top Box).
Operating the Remote Control
After successful programming, point the Simply Numeric remote control towards your device and press the desired button. The remote will transmit the learned infrared signal.
- To control Device 1 (e.g., TV), ensure the LED next to the A button is lit. If not, press A.
- To control Device 2 (e.g., Set-top Box), ensure the LED next to the B button is lit. If not, press B.
- The large buttons are designed for easy identification and comfortable use, especially for users who prefer a minimalist interface.
Maintenance and Care
- Clean the remote control regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- If the remote will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Avoid dropping the remote or subjecting it to strong impacts.
