Battery information

• Do not mix different types of battery or old and new batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not going to use it for several weeks, to avoid the risk of leakage.
• Please respect your environment and any local regulations and dispose of old batteries in a responsible manner.
• Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
• Immediately remove any leaking batteries.
  Take care when handling leaking batteries as they may cause burns to the skin or eyes, or other physical injuries.

Operation

When you press a key, point the remote control towards the front of the STB to ensure correct operation. Do not cover the infra-red (IR) window at the front of the remote control and at the front of the STB.
When a key is pressed, either the STB key will flash or, if a TV brand has been entered, the TV/AUX POWER key will flash, depending on which product is being controlled by the remote control.
If you press a key for more than 30 seconds the remote control will stop transmitting commands to preserve battery life.

Controlling the TV: Brand Search

The TV/AUX POWER, TV INPUT, VOL+, VOL- and MUTE keys of the remote control can be programmed to operate your TV. To do this, your remote control must first learn the ‘brand code’ of your TV. By default, the remote control is programmed with the most common brand code 1150 (Samsung).

1. Press MENU and 3 for at least three seconds to switch the remote control to infrared (IR) mode. The STB key flashes twice when the remote control has switched to IR mode.
   If you make a mistake, press STB to exit the procedure. The remote control will revert to normal operation. No TV brand code will be stored.

2. Find the 4-digit brand code for your TV at www.aminocom.com/legal/docs.

3. Make sure your TV is turned on. The STB does not need to be turned on for the brand search.

4. Press 1 and 3 for at least three seconds until the TV/AUX POWER key flashes twice and remains on.

5. Enter the brand code for your TV. On each digit entry the TV/AUX POWER key will flash.

6. If successful the STB key will flash once and remain on. If unsuccessful the TV/AUX POWER key will give a long flash and the remote control will revert to normal operation. No brand code will be stored.

7. To check the TV control is operating, press and hold either TV/AUX POWER or MUTE. When the TV turns off or mutes, release TV/AUX POWER or MUTE.

8. Press Back to leave the brand search mode.
   If you change your TV to a different brand the remote control will require re- programming. Repeat this brand search procedure with the brand code for your new TV.

Controlling the TV: Auto Search (search all brands)

If you cannot find the TV brand by the brand search method then auto search can be used
Note: this process may take several minutes to find your TV code.
Make sure your TV is turned on. The STB does not need to be turned on for the brand search.

1. Press MENU and 1 for at least three seconds to switch the remote control to infra-red (IR) mode. The STB key flashes twice when the remote control has switched to IR mode.
2. Press 1 and 3 together for at least three seconds until the TV/AUX POWER key flashes twice and remains on.
3. Enter the 4-digit code 9 9 9 9. On each digit entry the STB key will flash.
4. If successful the STB key will flash once and remain on. If unsuccessful the TV/AUX POWER key will give a long flash and the remote control will revert to normal operation.
5. To check the TV control is operating, press and hold either TV/AUX POWER key or MUTE. When the TV turns off or mutes, release TV/AUX POWER key or MUTE.
6. Press Back to leave the brand search mode.
   If brand search and auto search fail, then the remote control is unable to control your TV.

Controlling the STB: manual pairing

Your remote control has to be ‘paired’ to the STB to control it. Pairing can be manual or automatic. A remote control can only pair with one STB at a time.
For manual pairing the STB must be in pairing mode, which is:

• for two minutes after the STB boots up
  or

• when the remote control pairing page of the setup wizard is shown (this depends on the STB firmware version and may not be shown)
  or

• when remote control pairing instructions are shown by the middleware (this depends on the middleware application and may not be shown)

To pair manually:

1. Press MENU and OK for at least three seconds until the STB key flashes to acknowledge. The timeout for pairing is 60 seconds.
2. If pairing is successful:
   The STB key gives a long flash to indicate an error (the STB key may indicate this change, depending on the middleware or firmware version).
   If pairing is unsuccessful:
   The TV/AUX POWER key gives a long flash to indicate an error (the STB may indicate this change, depending on the middleware or firmware version).
   During pairing no remote control keys will work except the BACK key. You must press BACK to stop pairing or to use another function.

Controlling the STB: auto pairing

Auto pairing can be triggered by the remote control in two cases:

• after the batteries have been inserted.
• after any key is pressed, and the TV/AUX POWER key flashes to confirm the keypress.

To auto pair the remote control and the STB:
Ensure the STB is powered on and the STB key on the remote control is off Then follow steps 1 and 2 in the manual pairing section above.

Factory reset

1. Press 1 and 6 for at least three seconds until the TV/AUX POWER key flashes twice then stays on.
2. Enter the key sequence 9 8 1 and then press ok. After completing the sequence the STB key will flash twice. The TV settings are now deleted from the remote control and it returns
   to factory settings: Bluetooth mode, Samsung brand code (1150) and unpaired.

Learning mode

The Maxi ATV remote control can learn a key function from another ‘source’ remote control.

1. Choose your ‘target key’ on the remote control. It must be one of the following keys: TV/AUX POWER / TV INPUT / VOL+ / VOL- / MUTE. This key will learn a function from the source remote control.
2. Press 4 and 6 for at least three seconds. The TV/AUX POWER key will flash twice and remain on.
3. Press your target key within 30 seconds:
   •  if valid, the TV/AUX POWER key will give a confirmation flash and remain on.
   • if invalid, or you do not press within 30 seconds, the TV/AUX POWER key will give a long flash and return to user mode.
4. Hold the Maxi ATV remote control 3 – 6 cm from the source remote control with the IR windows facing each other, then press your target key on the source remote control (e.g. if your target key on the Maxi ATV remote control is mute, press mute on the source remote control).
5. If the IR signal is received correctly, the TV/AUX POWER key will turn off and the remote control will return to normal mode (note: this can overwrite a previously learned code).
6. If the IR signal is not received correctly, or is received after 30 seconds, the Maxi ATV remote control will not store the code from the source remote control: it will give a long flash and return to user mode.
7. If the Back key is pressed on the remote control while it is waiting for an IR signal, the TV/AUX POWER key will give a long flash and return to user mode. (If the target key is pressed, any learned code on it is cleared.)
8. To clear the target key, press 4 and 6 for at least three seconds. The TV/AUX POWER key will flash twice and remain on. Then press your twice. The TV/AUX POWER key will flash to confirm the target key is cleared.
