3.2 Programming TV Control Keys (Optional)

While the remote works out of the box for Formuler/Dreamlink boxes, you can program the "TV Control" keys (OK, Source, Vol-, Vol+) to control your television. This feature allows you to consolidate control of your TV's basic functions onto this remote.

1. Press and hold the TV button (located above the TV Control section) until the LED light on the remote turns solid. This indicates the remote has entered Learning Mode.
2. Press the key on the ALLIMITY remote that you wish to program (e.g., Vol+). The LED will begin blinking slowly.
3. Aim your original TV remote control towards the front of the ALLIMITY remote (distance less than 3cm). Press the corresponding button on your TV remote (e.g., TV's Volume Up button).
4. If the programming is successful, the LED on the ALLIMITY remote will flash 3 times.
5. Repeat steps 2-3 for other TV control keys you wish to program.
6. To exit Learning Mode, press any other button on the ALLIMITY remote, or wait for the LED to turn off automatically.
