2.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the cover downwards or press the latch to open it.
- Insert two (2) AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
Note: Batteries are not included with the remote control. Always use new AAA alkaline batteries for optimal performance.
2.2 Initial Setup (Code Selection)
The SUPTRB010 remote control is designed to be ready for use with most Philips TVs without programming. However, if the remote does not function immediately, you may need to select one of the three pre-programmed codes (A, B, or C) to find the one compatible with your specific Philips TV model.
- Ensure your Philips TV is powered on.
- Press and hold the POWER button on the remote control.
- While holding the POWER button, simultaneously press one of the code selection buttons: A (NET TV), B (SMART TV), or C (RK TV).
- Release both buttons.
- Point the remote control at your TV and test its functionality (e.g., try changing the channel or adjusting the volume).
- If the remote does not work, repeat steps 2-5 with the next code selection button (A, B, or C) until you find the correct code for your TV.
Once the remote control successfully operates your TV, the selected code is stored and will remain active even after battery replacement.
