GETTING STARTED

Thank you for choosing the ONN Universal Remote Control. This remote control can operate a wide range of electronic devices, works across most brands and models, and comes pre-programmed to operate many Samsung TVs (see the Programming Your Remote sections if your device is not compatible). Your remote can control up to 6 devices and is remarkably easy to set up. To get started, please install two AA alkaline batteries (not included) as shown below.

BATTERIES

Installing the Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries as shown.
3. Snap the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with local and national regulations.

Low Battery Indicator

If while using the remote, the button’s red indicator light flashes 3 times, this indicates the batteries need to be replaced. Please replace the batteries as soon as possible when this indication occurs.

Code Saver

When changing the batteries of your remote, please do so quickly. You have up to 20 minutes to change the batteries in your remote without losing the programmed codes.

Battery Saver
To conserve battery power, the remote will automatically turn off if any button is pressed for more than 60 seconds (except during programming). This feature is helpful in the event that the remote is stuck in location 10 where the buttons remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.

GETTING STARTED ( BUTTONS )

NOTE: Some of the buttons on the remote may not support all of the functions of the original device remote.

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE

Programming your remote is as easy as 1, 2, 3 Before beginning, please make sure that the device you want to control is powered on and follow these three simple steps.

DIRECT CODE ENTRY

NOTE: Press PROGRAM to exit at any time.

NOTE: The ONN universal remote comes pre-programmed to operate many Samsung TVs.

AUTO CODE SEARCH

It’s recommended to program your remote by using the Direct Code Entry method, however if with that method you were not able to find a code that is compatible with your device, you may try the Auto Code Search method below:

1. Power on the device that you want to control.
2.  Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the POWER button lights up red. The button’s red indicator light remains on.
3. Select a device from the Device Categories you would like to control. The POWER button’s red indicator light blinks once and remains on.

NOTE: Please refer to the list below if you are unsure about the device category.

• TV: TV, TV/DVD, and other TV combinations.
• SAT/CBL: Satellite, Cable, DVR, and other set-top boxes.

• B-RAY/DVD: Blu-ray Players and DVD Players.

• OTHER: VCRs, Digital Frames, and devices not found on the code list.

4. Point the remote at the device you wish to control and then press and hold the OK button until the device turns off. The POWER button’s red indicator light will blink as the codes are being tested.
5. When the device turns off, immediately release the OK button to lock in the code. The POWER button’s red indicator light will turn off. Test the remote with the device to make sure all the buttons work as expected.  If some of the buttons/features don’t work, repeat the process or try the Direct Code Entry method.

NOTE: It may take over 10 minutes to scan through all the possible codes for your device. If during the Auto Code Search, you have either accidentally or deliberately released the OK button, you may repeat steps 1 through 5 above to resume the code search where it left off.

After the Auto Code Search has exhausted all available codes for the selected category, the remote’s POWER button’s red indicator light blinks three times and turns off. If none of the codes worked with your device, try the Direct Code Entry method.
