Setup Guide

1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Connecting via 2.4G Wireless (USB Receiver)

This method is suitable for devices with a USB port, such as Android TV Boxes, Mini PCs, and HTPCs.

1. Locate the USB Nano Receiver included in the package.
2. Plug the USB Nano Receiver into an available USB port on your device (e.g., Android TV Box).
3. The remote control should automatically connect to the receiver. The indicator light on the remote may flash briefly and then turn off, indicating a successful connection.
4. You can now use the remote control.

3. Connecting via Bluetooth 5.0

This method is ideal for devices with built-in Bluetooth, offering a direct wireless connection without needing the USB receiver.

1. Before pairing, it is recommended to clear any previous pairing information. Press and hold the [OK] button and the [Return] button simultaneously for 3 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly. This clears the code information and improves pairing success.
2. On your device (e.g., Smart TV, Android TV Box), navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu.
3. Enable Bluetooth and search for new devices.
4. Select "G20BTS Plus" or a similar name from the list of available devices.
5. Confirm the pairing on your device if prompted. The remote's indicator light will stop flashing once successfully paired.

4. Infrared (IR) Learning Function

The G20BTS Plus remote allows you to program its Power and Mute buttons to control your TV or other IR-controlled devices.

1. Place the G20BTS Plus remote and your original IR remote control head-to-head, about 2-3 cm apart.
2. Press and hold the [Power] button on the G20BTS Plus remote for 3 seconds. The red indicator light will flash slowly, indicating it has entered IR learning mode.
3. Press the button on your original IR remote control that you wish to learn (e.g., Power button). The red indicator light on the G20BTS Plus remote will flash rapidly and then turn off, indicating successful learning.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for the [Mute] button if desired.
5. Once learning is complete, the red indicator light will go out.
