Point the remote control towards the front of the set-top box when pressing a remote control button to ensure correct operation. Do not cover the IR window at the front of the product.

When a button on the remote is pressed, either the set-top box standby button will flash or TV standby button (if a TV brand has been entered), depending on which product is being controlled by the remote control.

If a button is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the remote control will stop transmitting commands in order to preserve battery life.
