Programming your GE 48843 universal remote to work with your TV is straightforward. You can use either the direct code entry method or the auto code search method. Here's how to do it:
Direct Code Entry Method:
- Find the 4-digit code for your TV brand in the code list that came with your remote.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on your GE 48843 remote until the red light turns on.
- Press the TV button (or the button for the device you are programming) on the remote.
- The red light will blink once and stay on.
- Enter the 4-digit code for your TV using the number buttons on the remote.
- The red light will turn off.
- Point the remote at your TV and test the buttons (like power and volume). If they don't work, repeat steps 2-6 with the next code from the list.
- Once you find a code that works, write it down for future reference.
Auto Code Search Method:
- Turn on your TV manually.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the red light turns on.
- Press the TV button (or the button for the device you are programming) on the remote.
- The red light will blink once and stay on.
- Point the remote at your TV and press the POWER button. The remote will begin cycling through codes.
- If your TV turns off, press and release the same device button you pressed in step 3. Proceed to step 9. If the TV doesn't turn off, go to step 8.
- Turn your TV back on manually.
- Point the remote at your TV and press the VOL+ button repeatedly, waiting a few seconds between each press, until your TV turns off.
- When your TV turns off, press and release the same device button you pressed in step 3.
- Use the remote to test the buttons. If they do not work, repeat the process starting from step 2.
