Setting the Codes on Your Controller

To associate this controller with the devices that you have, you will need to refer to the lists of device
types listed at the end of this manual. You will need to identify and input the correct device code for
your unit as follows:

1. Turn on the device that you want to set.

2. Look for the brand name under the specific device listing provided.

(Note: You will notice that some brands will have more than one 3-digit code. During the code input
process, you may have to try more than one 3-digit code that will match your device brand and model.)

3. Aim the remote control at the device and press down and hold CODE SEARCH button for at least 3

seconds until the red LED lights up solid red.

4. Press the device button for the item you wish to program, e.g. TV, DVD, VCR, etc. and the LED light

will blink once and then remain solid red.

5. Using the number keys, enter the 1 st set of 3-digit codes from the list. You will notice that each

number that you press, the LED will blink once. After you have entered the 3rd digit, the red LED will
turn off indicating that the code was recognized for the device.
(NOTE: If the code entered was not compatible, the red LED will flash several times. You will then need
to repeat step 3. You have 30 seconds to enter a code.)

6. After the red LED light has turned off. Press the ON/OFF key. If the device you are trying to program

powers off, then you have found the correct code. If the device does not power off, then you will need
to repeat the process again from step 3, using another 3-digit code.

7.Make a note of the 3-digit code for future use.

Automatic Search

There is another way to set up your controller, that does not use the brand code lists. You can let your
controller search through all of its available codes automatically in order to set the connection to the
target device. To do this, follow these steps:

1.Turn on the target device.

2.Point the controller at the target device and press and hold the Code Search button for around 3
seconds, until the LED light stays red.

3.Next select the type of device the target unit is by using the Cable/TV/VCR/DVD/Sat Buttons (i.e. if
it is a TV that you are trying to control, press the TV button). The LED light should then blink once,
then stay red.

4.Press the On/Off button on the controller slowly and repeatedly until the device you are trying to
connect with turns off. (Note: the LED light will blink each time you press the On/Off button). When
this happens, press the ENTER button in order to store the code and the LED light will turn off.

Setting the Sleep Function

This feature allows you to set a time after which the controller will automatically turn off a target
device. To do this press and hold the Sleep button for around 3 seconds until the LED light turns on
and stays on.

Next, use the number keys to set the number of minutes after which you want the device to power off
– from 01-99 minutes. Press OK to confirm. The LED will turn off and the timer will begin. Ensure that
you leave the controller pointing at the target unit.
You can cancel this function by pressing the On/Off button or by pressing and holding the sleep button
for around 3 seconds, until the LED flashes once.

Displaying Stored Codes

Use this feature to find out which 3 digit code is associated with which of your devices. Press and

3

hold down the Code Search button for around 3 seconds until the LED light turns on and stays red.
Press the device button you want to display the code for (e.g. press the TV button to find out your TV’s
code) and the LED light will blink once then stay red.

You now need to press each of the numbers from 0-9 in turn, while watching the LED light. When the
light blinks you have found the correct number. Doing this for the 3 digits will give you the correct
code.

For example, press 0, then 1, then 2, then 3, etc... The LED light will blink when you press the right
key. For example if the light blinks on 6, then that is the first number. You should now start again at 0,
then 1, then 2 etc... If the light blinks on 2 then the next digit is 2. Repeat this same procedure for the
third digit, so if it flashes on 8, the complete number is 628.

Note: once the 3rd digit has been successfully entered the LED will turn off.
