• Step 5: After pressing the button for the device you wish to control, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.
• Step 6: Point your remote at the device, then press and release the power button to start the code search.
• Step 7: The red indicator light will start flashing while it searches.
• Step 8: If a compatible code is found, your device will turn off, and the red indicator light on the GE remote control will stop flashing and remain on.
• Step 9: If the red LED indicator stops flashing without your TV turning off, simply repeat the process from “Step 4” above.
• Step 10: Once your device turns off, manually turn it back on.

• Step 15: Once your device turns off, that means your remote now has the compatible code.
• Step 16: To store this code in your remote, simply press the same device button that you pressed in “Step 4” above. In this example, we will press the TV button since we are programming the remote control with a TV.
• Step 17: Now turn on your device using the GE remote and test all its buttons to make sure your remote is fully functional with this device.
