Setup

Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Slide the battery cover downwards or press the 'OPEN' tab and lift to remove it.
3. Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment. Note: Batteries are not included with the remote control.
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding it back into position until it clicks securely.

Initial Use (for listed LG models)

For the specific LG Air Conditioner models listed in the product title (e.g., 6711A20025M, 6711A20025N), the remote control is pre-programmed and should work directly after battery installation without any additional setup. Point the remote towards your air conditioner and test its functions.

Universal Programming (for other Air Conditioners)

If your air conditioner is not one of the directly compatible LG models, or if the remote does not function immediately, programming may be required. This remote features an 'AUTO DIGITAL SEARCH MODE' and supports 'numeric input directly' for code setting, compatible with over 2000 air conditioner models.

General Programming Steps (Consult product packaging for specific codes and detailed instructions):

1. Ensure your air conditioner is powered on.
2. Press and hold the 'SET' or 'SELECT' button (if available) on the remote until the code digits on the LCD display start flashing.
3. Automatic Search: Release the 'SET' or 'SELECT' button. The remote will begin transmitting codes. Point the remote at your air conditioner. When the air conditioner responds (e.g., turns on, beeps), immediately press any button (e.g., 'OK' or 'POWER') to confirm the code.
4. Manual Code Entry: If you have a specific code for your air conditioner brand, use the number buttons (0-9) to enter the code directly while the code digits are flashing. Press 'OK' or 'ENTER' to confirm.
5. Test all functions to ensure proper operation. If not all functions work, repeat the programming process to try a different code.
