2. Initial Use (No Programming Required)

- While still holding 'SET', press the brand key corresponding to your TV (e.g., 'SAMSUNG', 'LG', 'SONY', etc.). If your brand is not listed, you can try the 'OTHER BRANDS' button.
- The indicator light will flash once to send the current brand's code.
- Continue to press the 'VOL+' (Volume Up) button repeatedly, pointing the remote at your TV.
- When the volume symbol appears on your TV screen, immediately release the 'VOL+' button.
- The indicator light on the remote will turn off, indicating that the code has been saved.
