Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -). Two AAA batteries are included with your purchase.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Initial Programming (Pre-programmed Devices)
The remote control is pre-programmed for many popular brands such as LG, Sony, Samsung, Sharp, and Philips. For these brands, the remote may function immediately after battery installation without further setup. Test the remote with your TV and STB.
3. Learning Function (For Unlisted or Specific Functions)
If your device is not immediately compatible or if you wish to add specific functions from your original remote, use the learning function:
- Place the Thomson remote and your original remote control head-to-head, approximately 2-5 cm apart.
- Press and hold the desired device button (TV or STB) on the Thomson remote until the indicator light blinks.
- Press the button on the Thomson remote that you wish to program. The indicator light will blink slowly.
- Press the corresponding button on your original remote control. The indicator light on the Thomson remote will blink rapidly to confirm successful learning.
- Repeat for other buttons as needed.
- Press the device button (TV or STB) again to exit learning mode.
4. Master Volume and Program Selection
This feature allows you to designate which device (TV or STB) controls the volume and program channels, regardless of which device mode the remote is currently in. Refer to the full user manual for specific steps on setting up master control functions.
