Programming the Remotes 19
Step 3 Programming the Remotes
Three Steps to Programming the Remotes
1. Pair remotes with your Xtender
2. Pick a room, program a remote to work the TV in that room.
3. Program red, green and blue channels
4. Program the rest of the remotes for each room
Step 1 – Pair Remotes
Why am I doing this? Just like you only want your cordless phone talking to your
own base station/phone line, you only want your remotes controlling your Xtender
and not your neighbor’s. This step “pairs” your remotes to your Xtender.
• Press the BOCS Logo button on the
front of the Xtender unit. The
Red/Green/Blue lights on the front of
Xtender will begin blinking
• Simultaneously press the “Menu” and “Ch+” buttons and hold for 2 seconds.
The red power light on the remote will flash twice
• Check to make sure the pairing worked by pressing the Red Xtender channel
button – if the red light on the front of Xtender flashes, pairing was successful.
If it does not (the remote will also give you an error code of either a fast flash
power light indicating the remote is not paired to anything or an out of range
indication – alternating power/Xtender channel lights on the remote) – If you
get an error try binding again.
• Repeat for each remote
Note In step 1, if the LEDs on Xtender stop blinking immediately upon release of
the pair button, the maximum number of remotes have already been bound to this
Xtender (12 are allowed). To un-pair all remotes and start over, press and hold the
BOCS Logo button for 10 seconds.
Check You can check to see if a remote is bound to Xtender – just go stand in front
of the Xtender and press the “BOCS-Red” channel button on the remote. If the red
light on the remote blinks once and the red light on Xtender blink once, it is paired.
If it is not paired, the Xtender light will not blink and the remote will also give you
an error code of either a fast flash power light indicating the remote is not paired to
anything or an out of range indication – alternating power/Xtender channel lights
on the remote.
Step 2 – Pick a room, program a remote to work the TV in that room
• Start with either the TV in the same room as Xtender or the closest TV to
Xtender
• Find your TV brand in the code list for your TV type (Appendix A)
• Press and hold the TV and INFO buttons until the remote power light turns on
