How to Set Up Your Remote

2. Hold down MAGIC ⚙️ until the LED under the device blinks twice. The LED under the current device will stay lit.
3. Press the MODE key repeatedly until the LED for the device you want to set up is lit. ?
4. Hold down the digit corresponding to your device's brand (e.g., 6 for Samsung TV).
5. The remote will send a Power signal every 3 seconds until your device switches off.
6. As soon as your device switches off, release the digit.
7. The LED will blink twice ✔️ and go out. The remote should now operate your device.

If keys do not work as expected, restart from step 1. The remote will try the next code in memory.

B - Set Up by Code

Use this method if your brand is not listed in SimpleSet or if SimpleSet doesn't work. You will need to try codes individually.

6. The LED will blink twice ✔️ and go out.
7. Aim the remote towards your device and press the POWER ▶️ key.
8. If the device turns off, your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat steps 3-7 with the next code in the list.

Some codes are similar. If keys don't operate as expected, try again from step 3 with the next code.

Advanced Features

Learning Functions ✍️

Your One For All remote can learn functions from any other working remote control. This is useful if you are missing functions or cannot find a code for a device.

7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each key you want to learn. You can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per key.
8. When finished, hold down MAGIC ⚙️ until the LED blinks twice and turns off.

Hints:

Activity Modes:

Power Macro: Holding the Power key for 2 seconds in any Activity sends the Power function for all devices within that Activity simultaneously.

The NETTV Feature ?

The URC7145 features a "NETTV" key for accessing digital TV streamed over the internet (e.g., Netflix, YouTube). If your original remote had a similar key, it will function the same. If not, you can program it as a shortcut.

Tips:

• Ensure the Evolve remote operates the device before programming.
