- Press the corresponding button on your TV's original remote (e.g., TV Power). The LED on the V3 Pro remote will flash 3 times, then turn solid, confirming successful learning.
- Repeat steps 2-3 for other keys you wish to program.
- To exit learning mode, press any other button on the V3 Pro remote. The LED will turn off.
