programming, the CANCEL button will light up when buttons are pressed and turn off when
buttons are released. When programming is finished, the CANCEL button will long blink to
indicate success and short blink to indicate fail.

There are 3 ways to program the remote control to operate other devices: Direct Entry,
Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. If you have recently purchased the device

search first.

other 3 digits indicate the brand. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in
the code list at the end of this section.
5. The CANCEL button will long blink to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you've
tested all codes for your device's brand or try to run a manual code search.
