- Press the programmable button on the Octagon remote that you wish to teach (e.g., the TV Power button). The LED will start blinking slowly, signifying it is ready for programming.
- Point your original TV remote control directly at the front of the Octagon remote (ensure the distance is less than 3 cm). Press and hold the corresponding button on your TV remote (e.g., TV Power). If the Octagon remote successfully learns the command, its LED will blink three times.
- Repeat steps 2-3 for any other buttons you wish to program (e.g., Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute).
- Exit learning mode by pressing any other button on the Octagon remote that has not been programmed. The LED will turn off.
