2. Setup Guide
2.1 Battery Installation
Before using your new remote control, you must install two AAA batteries (not included).
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the battery compartment cover downwards to open it.
- Insert two new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it clicks securely.
2.2 Code Programming (Manual Setup)
If the remote does not work directly after battery installation, you may need to program it using a specific code for your TV brand. Refer to the included code list in your product packaging.
- Turn on your TV manually.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the power indicator light turns solid red.
- Release the SETUP button.
- Press the TV button (or the corresponding device button you wish to program, e.g., STR for streaming, AUD for audio). The power indicator light will blink once.
- Enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand from the provided code list using the number buttons.
- If the code is correct, the power indicator light will turn off. If it blinks and stays on, the code was incorrect; try another code.
- Test the remote's functions (Power, Volume, Channel) to ensure it works correctly.
2.3 Automatic Search
If you cannot find a suitable code or prefer an automatic method, use the automatic search function:
- Turn on your TV manually.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the power indicator light turns solid red.
- Release the SETUP button.
- Press the TV button (or the corresponding device button). The power indicator light will blink once.
- Aim the remote control at the TV.
- Press the MUTE button repeatedly, pausing briefly after each press, until the volume symbol appears on your TV screen.
- Once the volume symbol appears, immediately press the POWER button to save the code and exit the automatic search mode.
- Test the remote's functions to ensure it works correctly.
