The remote is aimed at the device, the corresponding Device Select Control button is held until the LED Indicator Light turns solid red, and then the 4-digit code is entered. The LED blinks with each digit and turns off if the code is recognized. If the code is not recognized or doesn't work, users are instructed to try other codes or search methods.
