Setup

The Essence 4 remote is pre-programmed to control some of the most popular devices out of the box. If you have one of the following devices, try putting the batteries in and pressing the device key, and then press a few keys to see if the remote works your device:

If your device is not one of those listed above, or you have extra devices to set up, there are 2 ways to do this. The easiest is SimpleSet, which is used for the common brands and devices.

SimpleSet Setup

If the brand of your device is shown in the SimpleSet picture pointing to a key, you can use the SimpleSet system described in this section. Please locate the brand of your device and note the key associated with it.

To set up your device:

1. Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it. If you are setting up a Streaming device, make sure a movie or TV show is playing.
2. Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
3. Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
4. Hold down the digit for your brand and device as listed in the tables above - e.g. 7 for a Samsung TV.
5. For all devices except OTT, the remote will send the Power key every 3 seconds. For a streaming box, the remote will send the Play/Pause function.
6. As soon as your device reacts by turning off or Pausing (Streaming box only), release the digit.
7. The LED will blink twice and the remote should now operate your device.

• If you find one or more keys do not work as you expect, start again at step 2 – the remote will start with the next code in the memory.

Setup by Code

If the brand of your device is not listed in the SimpleSet feature, you can set up by trying codes individually. To do this, firstly locate your brand in the Code List. Codes are listed by brand and device, and in order of popularity.

1. Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it.
2. Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
3. Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
4. Enter the first 4 digit code listed for your brand (e.g. 1840 for LG).
5. The LED will blink twice on the last digit of the code.
6. Now aim the remote towards your device and press the Power key*.
7. If the device turns off, your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat steps 2-6 with the next code in the list.

* Note: If your original remote did not have a Power key, try testing with a different key at step 6. For example, try pressing Play or Pause when setting up a streaming box and see if the box responds.

Batteries

Your remote requires 2 x AAA / LR03 batteries. Please insert them as shown below. Alkaline batteries are recommended.

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use quality Alkaline batteries.
