5. Operating Instructions

This remote control provides full functionality for your compatible INFOMIR MAG Set-Top Box. Point the remote directly at the set-top box and ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the device.

5.1 Basic Functions

• Power Button: Turns the set-top box on or off.
• Navigation Buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right): Used to navigate menus and select options.
• OK Button: Confirms selections or opens menus.
• Volume Up/Down: Adjusts the volume.
• Channel Up/Down: Changes channels.
• Numeric Keypad (0-9): Directly enters channel numbers or other numerical inputs.

5.2 Programming TV Control Buttons

This remote allows you to program certain buttons to control your television (e.g., TV Power, Volume). Follow these steps to program the buttons:

1. Place the infrared LEDs of both the STB Remote Control (STB RC) and your TV Remote Control (TV RC) opposite each other, at a maximum distance of 5 cm.
2. On the STB RC, press the 'Red' and 'Blue' buttons of 'Additional functions' simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds. Access to the setup mode is confirmed when the visual LEDs under the 'TV power' button (Green) and 'STB power' button (Red) turn ON and remain ON.
3. On the STB RC, press the button that you wish to program (e.g., TV Power, Volume Up). The LED under the 'STB power' button will blink once and then remain ON, indicating that the button is ready for programming.
4. On the TV RC, press and hold the button whose function you wish to copy to the STB remote. Hold the button until the LED under the 'TV Power' button (Green) on the STB RC blinks twice, indicating successful operation. Both visual LEDs will remain ON. The STB RC will stay in copying setup mode, allowing you to program other buttons by repeating steps 3 and 4.
5. To finish the copying process, press the 'OK' button on the STB RC. Both LEDs will double blink and then turn OFF.

6. Resetting the Remote Control

To restore the remote control to its factory settings, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the remote control is in idle mode (no IR transmission or visual activity).
2. Press the 'SETUP' and 'OK' buttons at the same time and hold them for approximately 2 seconds until the visual LEDs under the 'TV Power' button (Green) and 'STB Power' button (Red) turn ON.
3. Release both pressed buttons. The LEDs will turn OFF in 1 second. The reset process is complete.
