the pod this replaced had a soft key called spa party that turned on the pool lights, the heater and switch the actuators to spa. This remote has the name spa party as a key, but nothing happens when I press it. How do I reprogram this soft key?

To turn the system back on using the Hayward AQL2-POD2 touchscreen, place the remote in the charging station and wait for the display to activate. If the system is off or asleep, the display will wake up when the remote is properly seated and charging. Press the appropriate touchscreen buttons to navigate the menu and turn the system back on.
If the remote is not responding, ensure the charging contacts are aligned properly and the battery indicator is blinking or the Sleep button appears, indicating proper contact.
