Initial Pairing (Auto Search Function)

This remote control features an auto-search function for easy pairing with your TV. Follow these steps:

Turn on your TV manually.
Point the remote control towards the TV.
Press and hold the "SET" button (if available, otherwise try holding the "POWER" button and "CH+" simultaneously for a few seconds) until the indicator light on the remote stays lit.
While the indicator light is on, press and hold the "VOL+" button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code.
Observe your TV screen. As soon as the volume bar appears, immediately release the "VOL+" button. This indicates the remote has found the correct code.
Test other functions like power, channel, and menu. If all functions work correctly, the setup is complete. If not, repeat the auto-search process.
