This universal remote is designed to work with a wide range of devices. Depending on your specific device (TV, U-Verse S10 Receiver, Streaming Device, Cable Box), programming may involve different methods. Please try the following common methods:

• Automatic Code Search:
  1. Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV, Cable Box).
  2. Press and hold the 'SET' button (or a similar programming button, if available) on the remote until the indicator light stays on.
  3. While holding 'SET', press the device button you want to program (e.g., 'TV', 'STB'). The indicator light should blink.
  4. Release both buttons.
  5. Point the remote at the device and repeatedly press the 'POWER' button until the device turns off.
  6. Once the device turns off, immediately press the 'SET' button again to save the code. The indicator light should turn off.
  7. Test other functions like volume and channel to ensure proper operation.

  2. Turn on the device you wish to control.
  3. Press and hold the 'SET' button until the indicator light stays on.
  4. Enter the 3 or 4-digit code for your device using the number buttons. The indicator light should blink with each digit entered.

  6. Test the remote's functions. If it doesn't work, try the next code on the list.
