Your universal remote requires two (2) AA
batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries are
recommended.
Battery Installation
1. On the back of the remote, pull down on
the textured surface and slide battery cover
downward to remove.
2. Match the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries
to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery
compartment, then insert two (2) AA
batteries. Be sure to use fresh batteries.
3. Position battery cover slightly below 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 o if the
buttons are depressed more than 8 seconds.
This will save your batteries should your remote
get stuck in a place where the buttons remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).
Code Saver
You have up to 10 minutes to change the
batteries in your remote without losing the
codes you have programmed.

Programming Your Remote
Your remote is designed to control multiple
audio/video devices. To use, you will need to
program the remote for your devices. There are
two dierent methods you can use to program
the remote, Direct Code Entry or Auto Code
Search.
• The Direct Code Entry method is the
recommended approach, as it is the simplest
and quickest process in most cases.
• The Auto Code Search method searches
through all the codes in the remote to nd a
code for your device.
NOTE:This remote comes preprogrammed for
Roku®boxes and Samsung TVs. Press tv for
Samsung TVs and strm for Roku boxes.
Direct Code Entry (Recommended)
1. Locate the Code List included
with your remote. Find the section
for the type of device you wish
to control, (for example tv, strm,
aud, etc). Locate the brand of your
device and circle all the remote
codes for the brand.
2. Press and hold down the Setup
button on the remote until the red
light on the remote control turns
on. Release the Setup button.
The red light will remain on.
NOTE: The red light will either be a
small light at the top of the remote or
the power ON/OFF button.
3. Press and release the device button
on the remote for the type of device
you wish to control, (for example
tv, strm, aud, etc). The red light will
blink once and remain on.
NOTE:Any of the device buttons
on the remote can be programmed
to control any of your devices. For
example, you can use the aux device
button on the remote to control a
satellite receiver, digital converter
box, streaming media player or any
device category in the Code List.

Programming Your Remote
4. Use the number buttons on the
remote to enter the rst 4-digit
remote code you circled in the
Code List in Step 1. The red light
will turn o after entering the
fourth digit.
5. Point the remote at the device.
Test the buttons on the remote to
see if the device responds as you
would expect. If the buttons do not
operate the device, return to Step
2 above and use the next code that
you circled for that device.
6. Repeat steps 1 – 5 for each
device you wish to control.
Programming Notes
• Some codes may operate only a few functions
of your device. There may be another code in
the Code List that controls more functions.
Test other codes in the Code List for more
functionality.
• If you do not nd a remote code that works
your device or there are no codes in the
Code List for your device, use the Auto Code
Search method in the next section to program
your remote.
• For combination devices such as a TV/DVD
combo or TV/VCR combo, you may have to
enter a code for each device.
• Write down the remote codes used to
program the remote for future reference.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search is a process where you can
search through all the codes stored in the remote
to nd a code for your device. It is recommended
that you read through all the steps below to
familiarize yourself with the Auto Code Search
before starting the process.

Programming Your Remote
• If NO, continue to press and
release the VOL+ button until
the device turns o to test the
other 9 codes from Step 4. Be
sure to wait approximately 3
seconds after each VOL+ button
press to allow the device time
to respond to the code. When
the device turns o, you have
found a code for your device.
Press and release the same
device button pressed in Step
3. This will store the code in the
remote. Go to Step 7.
NOTE:
• The VOL- button can be used to
go backwards through each batch
of 10 codes.
• The red indicator light will ash 2
times after testing the rst or last
code in each batch of 10.
7. Use the remote to turn the device
back on. Test the buttons on
the remote to see if the device
responds as you would expect.
If the buttons do not operate the
device, return to Step 2 and repeat
this process to search for a better
code to operate the device.
8. Repeat this process for each
device you wish to control.
Controlling Combo Devices
Some combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD,
DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two
dierent device buttons to control both parts
of the combo device. For example, if you have
a TV/DVD combo, you may need to set up one
code under the tv button to control the TV
and a separate code under the b-ray button
to control the DVD.
