Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, insert two new AAA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. The setup process follows the One For All SimpleSet method:
- Select the device mode you wish to set up (e.g., TV).
- Select your brand from the compatibility list.
- Hold the specific digit button associated with your brand until the device responds.
For care, keep the remote away from liquids and extreme temperatures. Because it uses infrared (IR) technology, ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and your devices. If the buttons become unresponsive, replace the batteries with fresh alkaline cells.
