6. Once the app starts, hold down the App Shortcut key (?) until the LED blinks twice and goes out. The macro is stored.

Tips: Ensure the ONN remote controls the device before programming. If a macro doesn't work, repeat the sequence. Wait for device response during programming. Macros are tied to one device.

Activities

An Activity combines multiple devices for a single purpose (e.g., "Watch TV" can control TV, STB, and Audio simultaneously). The remote has 3 Activity modes: Watch TV, Listen To Music, Watch Movie.

Example Combinations:
