Setup

1. Battery Installation

Before programming, ensure two AAA batteries (not included) are properly installed in the remote control. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-), and close the cover securely.

2. Device Programming

The remote is preprogrammed for immediate use with Samsung TVs and Roku streaming boxes. For other brands, you can use either Direct Code Entry or Auto Code Search programming methods.

Direct Code Entry

1. Locate the Remote Code List included with your remote.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the red light on the remote control turns on. Then release.
3. Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, STR, DVD, AUD) on the remote for the device you wish to program.
4. Starting with the first code listed for your device's brand, key in the 4-digit code using the number buttons.
5. Point the remote at the device and test the buttons to see if it responds as expected.
6. If the device does not respond, repeat the process with the next code in the list until you find a working code.

6. Test the remote's functions with your device. If some functions do not work, repeat the process to find a more compatible code.

3. Primary Audio Control Setup

This feature allows you to control the volume of a specific device (e.g., your TV) regardless of which device mode the remote is currently in.

1. Press and hold the SETUP button on your remote control until the red LED indicator light turns on, then release.
2. Press and release the device button (e.g., TV) for the device you wish to always control the volume. The red light will blink once and remain lit.

4. The power button will blink twice and turn off, indicating successful programming.
5. Now, your remote is programmed to control your TV's volume in any device mode.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the remote's performance degrades or the indicator light does not illuminate, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace both AAA batteries simultaneously with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

To clean the remote, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents. Avoid getting moisture inside the remote.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not working after programming: Ensure the device is turned on and you are pointing the remote directly at it. Try another code from the code list for your device's brand.
• Some buttons not working: This may indicate that the current code is not fully compatible. Try another code from the code list.
• Indicator light not turning on: Check if the batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
• Remote not controlling Roku Streaming Sticks or Amazon Fire TV/Sticks: This universal remote is not designed for use with radio frequency (RF) devices like Roku Streaming Sticks and Amazon Fire TV/Sticks.
