RF pairing
8.1 Manual pairing
Manual pairing can be triggered by the remote control at any time, either in BLE or IR mode, paired
or unpaired. You can only pair manually when the STB is in pairing mode.
The STB is in pairing mode:
•for two minutes after the STB boots up.
•when there are remote control pairing instructions shown by the middleware (depending
on the middleware application).
During pairing only the STB POWER key on the remote control will work. If you want to abort pairing
or use another function you must press the STB POWER key.
To manually pair the remote to the STB:
1. Press keys MENU and OK simultaneously for at least three seconds until the STB-POWER-LED
flashes to confirm the key press.
The remote control is available for pairing for 60 seconds, and the STB-POWER-LED remains on
during this time.
2. If pairing is successful:
the STB-POWER-LED flashes once to confirm pairing and the remote control changes to BLE
mode. (The STB-LED may flash to confirm the pairing depending on the middleware or firmware
version.)
If pairing is unsuccessful or times out:
the TV-LED flashes once to indicate an error. (The STB may indicate this change depending on
the middleware or firmware version.)
8.2 Auto pairing
Before the STB can be controlled, you must pair it with the remote control. This section gives the
auto-pairing procedure for a new remote control or one that has been factory reset (i.e. it is in BLE
mode and not paired to any STB).
Auto-pairing can be triggered by the remote control in two cases:
•after the batteries have been inserted. (Pairing is not lost when the batteries are replaced,
the pairing remains for at least 1 hour.)
•after any key is pressed, and the STB-POWER-LED flashes to confirm the key press.

Amino Communications Ltd Technical Information
AM-011315-TN Page 11 of 19
© Amino Communications Ltd, 2018
To auto pair the remote control to the STB:
1. Ensure the STB is powered on and the STB-POWER-LED on the remote is off.
2. Point the remote control at the STB so the IR command is received correctly.
3. Press keys MENU and OK simultaneously for at least three seconds until the STB-POWER-LED
flashes to confirm the key press.
4. If pairing is successful:
the STB-POWER-LED flashes once to confirm pairing and the remote control changes to BLE
mode. (The STB-LED may flash to confirm the pairing depending on the middleware or firmware
version.)
If pairing is unsuccessful or times out:
the TV-LED flashes once to indicate an error. (The STB may indicate this change depending on
the middleware or firmware version.)
8.3 Aborting pairing
You can abort pairing by pressing the STB POWER key on the remote control.
After pairing is aborted, the remote control remains in the mode it was in before pairing, and you
can now use the other remote control functions.
8.4 Unpairing
If the remote control is unpaired, it will disconnect from the STB immediately. The remote control is
then put into IR mode.
To unpair the remote control from the STB:
1. Press keys 1and 6simultaneously for at least three seconds.
After three seconds the TV-LED will flash twice then remain on.
2. Enter the key sequence 9 8 2.
After you have entered the key sequence, the TV-LED turns off and the
STB-POWER-LED flashes twice to confirm unpairing.
The remote control then returns to IR mode.
8.5 General RF parameters
At any one time, the remote control can only pair with one STB. To start a new pairing, the remote
control will always erase a previous pairing before entering discoverable mode.
The remote control enters sleep mode 30 seconds after the last RF transmission.

All setup modes can be triggered in either IR or RF control mode, and all setup modes can be
triggered irrespective of whether the volume keys are set to TV keys or STB keys.
Before entering the setup mode using key combinations, the remote control will check if the battery
voltage is at LVD status. You can only enter setup mode when the battery is not in LVD status.
10.1 Setting BLE and IR modes
To set to RF mode
Press keys MENU and 2simultaneously for at least three seconds.
1. If the remote control is paired:
The STB-POWER-LED flashes once to confirm. The remote control is now in BLE mode.
2. If the remote control is unpaired:
The STB-POWER-LED flashes to indicate an error and the remote control will remain in IR mode.
In this case, a manual pairing will be required to pair the remote control to the STB.
To set to IR mode:
Press keys MENU and 1simultaneously for at least three seconds.
The STB-POWER-LED flashes twice to confirm. The remote control is now in IR mode and the keys
will send IR codes.
10.2 Volume keys mode
The three volume keys VOL+, VOL-, MUTE can work as either TV IR keys or STB (IR/RF) keys. You can
select the mode using the key combination shown below. Note that this mode only affects the
behaviours of the three volume keys and does not change the behaviours of other keys.
To set volume keys as TV keys
Press keys MENU and 3simultaneously for at least three seconds.
The TV-LED gives a confirmation flash and the three volume keys now act as TV keys. They will now
send TV IR codes (either from the DB or learned).
To set volume keys as STB keys
Press keys MENU and 4simultaneously for at least three seconds.
The TV-LED gives a confirmation flash and the three volume keys now act as STB keys. They will now
send STB codes, either IR or RF depending on the mode of the remote control setting. (See Setting
BLE and IR modes.)
10.3 Brand search/auto search
The brand search/auto search feature consists of two functions:
•search through the TV code-sets under a certain brand (brand-search).
•search through all TV code-sets (auto-search).

Technical Information Amino Communications Ltd.
Page 14 of 19 AM-011315-TN
© Amino Communications Ltd, 2018
To do a brand search/auto search
1. If you do not know the brand code for your TV, go to https://www.aminocom.com/legal/docs >
Remote Control User Guide > TV Brand Codes. Click TV Brand Codes for Willow, Oak, Birch,
Mini, Maxi. Search for your TV brand and note the brand code.
2. Ensure the TV is turned on (the STB does not have to be turned on).
3. Press keys 1and 3simultaneously for at least three seconds. Afterwards the TV-LED flashes twice
and remains on.
4. Release the keys. Enter the 4-digit brand code for the TV brand. (Alternatively you can enter
9999 or no digits for auto search.) When a key is pressed, the TV-LED gives a short inverse flash.
After entering the fourth digit, the remote control checks if the brand code is valid:
•if valid, the TV-LED gives a confirmation flash and remains on.
•If invalid, the TV-LED gives an error flash and the remote control returns to user mode.
5. Press the TV/AUX-POWER or MUTE key continuously; after two seconds a “Power Toggle” or
“Mute Toggle” IR command is transmitted for the next universal code-set in the list of code-sets.
The LED will turn off during transmission of the IR-command.
No new IR commands are sent during the next two seconds (for brand-search) or 1.5 seconds
(for auto-search). If the TV does not turn off or mute, then continue to press the button. The
remote will then try the next universal code-set in the list for the selected brand.
6. The search stops when all code-sets of the selected brand are tested twice (for a brand search),
or when all code-sets of the database are tested once (for an auto search). In this case the
remote performs an error flash. TV code-sets are no longer sent, the TV-LED stops inverse
flashing and the remote control returns to user mode.
7. When the TV turns off or mutes, release the TV/AUX-POWER or MUTE key. This confirms the
current code-set and tells the software that the last transmitted IR-command is the code-set
required. This code-set will then be programmed into non-volatile memory.
8. To confirm the correct code-set has been found, press the TV keys TV/AUX-POWER,TV-INPUT,
VOL+,VOL-,MUTE to check they work with the TV.
9. You can end the DB search mode by pressing STB-PWR. The remote will exit setup mode and
return to user mode.
10. If you want to continue the search, press the TV/AUX-POWER or MUTE key again for at least 2
seconds, in which case the brand search/auto search continues.
You can only continue to search using the same key as earlier in step 5
(TV/AUX-POWER or MUTE).
When the remote control is in setup mode and there is no key press
for approximately 30 seconds, the remote control flashes the TV-LED
and returns to user mode. If this 30-second timeout elapses while in
step 6 or 7, then the new universal code set has already been
programmed into non-volatile memory.

Amino Communications Ltd Technical Information
AM-011315-TN Page 15 of 19

10.4 Manual code-set ID entry
If you know the code-set ID, it can be entered manually.
To manually enter the code-set ID
1. Press keys 2and 6simultaneously for at least three seconds. During the initial three seconds, the
LEDs will remain off. After three seconds the TV-LED will flash twice and remain on.
2. Enter the 4-digit code-set ID for your TV:
•If valid, the TV-LED will give a confirmation flash and return to user mode.
•If invalid, the TV-LED will give an error flash, and return to user mode.
A successful manual code-set ID entry will program the new code-set
ID into non-volatile memory. All universal keys will be programmed
immediately with codes from the DB.
All the existing IR setup (DB setup/learning) will be overwritten by this
new code-set ID.
10.5 IR learning
In IR mode, the remote control can learn a key function from another ‘source’ remote control. You
can choose a ‘target key’ that learns the code of a key from another remote control. The target key
must be one of the five TV keys: TV-PWR, TV-INPUT, VOL+, VOL- or MUTE.
To set IR learning
1. If the remote control is not in IR mode, press keys MENU and 1simultaneously for three seconds
to set it to IR mode.
2. Press keys 4and 6 simultaneously for three seconds. During the initial three seconds, the LEDs
will remain off. After three seconds the TV-LED will flash twice and remain on. The remote is now
in learning mode.
3. Press the target key:
•If the selection of the target key is valid, the TV-LED gives a confirmation flash.
•If the selection of the target key is invalid, or you do not press a target key within 30
seconds timeout, the TV-LED gives an error flash and the remote control returns to user
mode.
4. Release the target key. The remote control enters learning state and waits for the IR signal from
the source remote control.
5. Hold the remote control approximately 3 –6 cm in front of the source remote. Press the target
button on the source remote control so that it emits the IR signal towards the remote control to
enable it to learn the key code.
6. After the learning attempt:
•If the IR signal is received correctly, the remote stores the learned code in non-volatile
memory. (This can overwrite a previously-learned code.) The TV-LED gives a confirmation
flash and the remote control returns to user mode.

Technical Information Amino Communications Ltd.
Page 16 of 19 AM-011315-TN
© Amino Communications Ltd, 2018
•If the IR signal is incorrect, or not received within 30 seconds timeout, the TV-LED gives an
error flash and the remote control returns to user mode.
7. If any key is pressed on the remote control while it is waiting for the IR signal, it gives an error
flash and returns to user mode. However, if the key pressed is the target key then the currently
learned code for the target key is cleared.
10.6 Clearing learning data
To clear the learning data
1. Press keys 4and 6simultaneously for three seconds. During the initial three seconds, the LEDs
will remain off. After three seconds the TV-LED will flash twice and remain on.
2. Press the target key twice to clear existing stored learned codes (if any). The TV-LED gives a
confirmation flash and the remote control returns to user mode.
3. The target key will now send the IR code from the last setup, or the default IR code if there has
not been a previous setup.
10.7 Resetting the TV configuration
To reset the TV configuration
1. Press keys 1and 6simultaneously for three seconds. During the initial three seconds, the LEDs
will remain off. After three seconds the TV-LED will flash twice and remain on.
2. Enter the key sequence 9 9 6. When a key is pressed, the TV-LED gives a short inverse flash.
•After a valid key sequence, the remote control deletes the TV configuration, i.e. all DB setup
code-sets and learned data, so the five TV keys are reset to their default code-set. The TV-
LED gives a confirmation flash and the remote control returns to user mode.
•If the key sequence is invalid, or not received within 30 seconds timeout, the TV-LED gives
an error flash and the remote control returns to user mode.
10.8 Clearing the pairing table
To clear the pairing table
