SIMPLESET

If the brand of your device is shown in the SimpleSet picture pointing to a key, you can use the SimpleSet system described in this section, please locate the brand of your device and note the key associated with it.

To set up your device:

Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it. If you are setting up a Streaming device, make sure a movie or TV show is playing.
Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
Hold down the digit for your brand and device as listed in the tables above – e.g. 7 for a Samsung TV.
For all devices except OTT the remote will send the Power key every 3 seconds, for a streaming box the remote will send the Play/Pause function.
As soon as your device reacts by turning off or Pausing (Streaming box only) release the digit.
The LED will blink twice and the remote should now operate your device.
If you find one or more keys do not work as you expect, start again at step 2 – the remote will start with the next code in the memory.

SETUP BY CODE

If the brand of your device is not listed in the SimpleSet feature, you can set up by trying codes individually. To do this firstly locate your brand in the Code List. Codes are listed by brand and device, and in order of popularity.

Now aim the remote towards your device and press the Power key.*
If the device turns off your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat steps 2-6 with the next code in the list.
