• Step 3: Press and hold down the “Setup Button” until the red light on the remote control turns on and remains on.
• Step 4: Once the red LED is on, release the “Setup Button”.
• Step 5: Press and release the device button you wish to control. For example, if you want to program your GE universal remote with a TV, then press the TV button.
• Step 6: After pressing the device button, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.

• Step 8: Test the device to see if the GE remote is fully functional and that the device responds properly.
• Step 9: If the remote’s buttons don’t operate the device, return to “Step 3” above and try again using the next code for that device.
