Setup and Programming
Charging the Remote
Before initial use, or when the battery indicator is low, charge your RCA Universal Remote Control using the provided USB-C cable. Connect the cable to the remote's USB-C port and plug the other end into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a powered USB port. A full charge typically provides 8-10 months of average use.
Programming Your Devices
The remote supports multiple programming methods to connect with your devices. The most common method involves using direct codes or an automatic search.
- Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV, DVD player, streaming box).
- Find the product code for your device's brand from the code list. If a physical list is not available, visit RCAcodeSupport.com for an updated list.
- Press and hold the device key on the remote (e.g., TV, DVD, STREAM) that you want to program for approximately 2 seconds. The power key will illuminate and stay on. Release the key.
- Enter the first five-digit code for your brand. The power key will flash after each digit is entered. If the code is correct, the power key will turn off.
