Learning Procedure:

1. Press and hold the "SET" key for 3 seconds until the red light illuminates brightly.
2. Press the "POWER" key in the TV CONTROL area. The red light will flash slowly.
3. Keep your original TV remote's IR emitter facing the ALLIMITY remote's IR emitter (within 3cm distance). Press the "POWER" key on your TV remote 3 times. The red light will flash 3 times and then remain lit, indicating successful learning.
4. To learn other keys (e.g., VOL+, VOL-, TV/AV), repeat steps 2 and 3 for each desired key.
5. Press the "SET" key again to exit the learning status. The red light will turn off.

If the learning process fails, the red light may flash rapidly or turn off without flashing three times. In such cases, repeat the procedure from step 1.
