Setup
Battery Installation

- Position the battery cover slightly below the opening and push upward to lock into place.
Note: If your remote stops operating properly, replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery Precautions
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, etc.) batteries.
- Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with local and national regulations.
Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if buttons are depressed for more than 8 seconds. This saves batteries if the remote gets stuck with buttons pressed down.
Code Saver
You have up to 10 minutes to change batteries without losing programmed codes.

Programming Your Remote
This remote can control multiple audio/video devices. You need to program it for your specific devices using one of two methods: Direct Code Entry or Auto Code Search.
- Direct Code Entry (Recommended): The simplest and quickest method.
- Auto Code Search: Searches through all stored codes to find a compatible one.
Note: This remote comes preprogrammed for Samsung TVs. Press TV for Samsung TVs.
Direct Code Entry (Recommended)
- Locate the included Code List. Find the section for your device type (TV, cbl) and brand. Circle all the remote codes for your brand.
- Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light will stay on.
- Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, cbl) for the device you wish to control. The red light will blink once and remain on.
- Enter the first 4-digit remote code from the Code List using the number buttons. The red light will turn off after the fourth digit.
- Point the remote at the device and test the buttons. If they don't work as expected, repeat from Step 2 using the next circled code for that device.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for each device you wish to control.
Programming Notes:
- Some codes may only operate a few functions. Try other codes for more functionality.
- If no code works or is listed for your device, use the Auto Code Search method.
- For combo devices (e.g., TV/DVD), you may need to enter a code for each function.
- Write down the codes used for future reference.
Auto Code Search
This process searches all stored codes for your device. Read all steps before starting.
- Manually turn on the device you wish to control. (Cannot be used for devices without power ON/OFF capability).
- Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light turns on. Release SETUP. The red light will stay on.
- Press and release the device button (e.g., TV, cbl). The red light will blink once and remain on.
- Point the remote at the device and press and release the POWER button. The remote will send 10 codes. The red light will blink once for each code and remain on.
- If the device turned off: Go to Step 5. If not: Repeat Step 4 to test the next 10 codes.
- Manually turn the device back on.
- Point the remote at the device and press and release the VOL + button. The remote will resend the first code from the previous batch of 10. The red light will blink once and remain on.
- If the device turned off: You've found a code. Press and release the same device button used in Step 3 to store the code. Proceed to Step 7. If not: Continue pressing VOL + (wait ~3 seconds between presses) until the device turns off. Once it turns off, press and release the device button used in Step 3 to store the code. Proceed to Step 7.
Notes:
- The VOL - button can be used to go backward through batches of 10 codes.
- The red indicator light flashes twice after testing the first or last code in each batch of 10.
- Use the remote to turn the device back on. Test the buttons. If they don't work as expected, repeat from Step 2 to search for a better code.
- Repeat this process for each device you wish to control.
