Method 1: Manual Code Input (Recommended if code is known)

Refer to the code list provided with your remote (or search online for CHUNGHOP K-1038E codes) to find the code for your air conditioner brand.

1. Manually plug in the air conditioner.
2. Find the type of the air conditioner in the code table. For example, Haier.
3. Hold the SET button (for about three seconds) until the code type code flickers in the window. Press temperature UP or DOWN buttons until the desired code flickers in the window. When the code is right, the air conditioner will start.
4. Press the OK button and the selected conditioner type code will stop flickering.
5. Test whether the remote control button has been effectively set. If not, repeat steps 2-3.

Method 2: Automatic Search

1. Ensure your air conditioner is powered on.
2. Point the remote control towards the air conditioner.
3. Press and hold the SET button for approximately 6 seconds until the code on the LCD screen starts flashing. The remote will begin searching for the correct code automatically.
4. Release the SET button when your air conditioner responds (e.g., turns on, off, or changes mode).
5. Press the OK button to confirm the code. Test all functions to ensure proper operation. If not, repeat the process.

Method 3: Brand Button (If available on your remote model)

Some versions of this remote may have dedicated brand buttons. If present, press and hold the button corresponding to your AC brand until the AC responds, then release.

Method 4: Manual Code Search (Alternative to Automatic Search)

1. Ensure your air conditioner is powered on.
2. Press the SET button once. The code on the LCD screen will flash.
3. Press the TEMP UP or TEMP DOWN buttons repeatedly to cycle through the codes one by one.
4. Stop pressing when your air conditioner responds.
5. Press the OK button to confirm the code. Test all functions. If not working correctly, continue cycling through codes.
