4.4 IR Learning (Infrared Learning)

The G10s Pro remote can learn infrared commands from your existing TV remote, allowing you to control basic TV functions like power and volume.

1. Place the G10s Pro remote and your original TV remote head-to-head, with their IR emitters facing each other, within 1-3 cm distance.
2. On the G10s Pro, press and hold the 'IR Learning Key' (often the Power button or a dedicated IR button) for 8 seconds until the indicator light stays on after blinking, then release.
3. While the indicator light is steady, press the button on the G10s Pro that you wish to program (e.g., TV Power). The indicator light will blink.
4. Immediately press the corresponding button on your original TV remote (e.g., TV Power). The indicator light on the G10s Pro will blink rapidly and then stay solid, indicating successful learning.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other buttons you wish to program (e.g., TV Volume Up/Down).
6. After learning all desired functions, press the 'IR Learning Key' again to exit learning mode.

4.5 Volume Control

The G10s Pro has two ways to control volume:

• Device Volume: Use the dedicated 'VOL +/-' buttons to control the volume of the connected Android TV Box, PC, or projector.
• TV Volume (via IR Learning): If you have programmed your TV's volume controls using the IR learning feature, you can use the learned buttons to adjust your television's volume directly.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the remote control clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the remote to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the remote or subject it to strong impacts.
• Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding: Check battery level and replace if necessary. Ensure the USB receiver is properly inserted (for 2.4G) or Bluetooth is enabled and paired (for BT). Try re-pairing the remote.
• Voice function not working: Verify that your device's operating system supports the voice function in the current connection mode (BT voice for ATV systems, 2.4G voice for most Android devices). Ensure the microphone is not obstructed.
• Bluetooth mode compatibility: Due to variations in Bluetooth modules across different devices, the BT mode may not be compatible with all devices. If you encounter issues, try using the 2.4G wireless connection.
• IR Learning issues: Ensure the remotes are placed very close (1-3 cm) and head-to-head during the learning process. Press and hold buttons for the correct duration. If learning fails, try resetting the IR functions by pressing the 'Delete' and 'Return' keys simultaneously until the indicator light flashes and the IR is reset.
