## How to Program Hama Universal Remotes

### 1. Direct Code Entry

1. Turn on your device
   - Ensure that the device you want to control (TV, DVD, STB, etc.) is powered on.
2. Enter Setup Mode
   - For most models: Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED lights up permanently (approximately 3 seconds).
   - For 00012306 & 00012307: The LED will flash once and then stay on.
3. Select Device Type
   - Press the appropriate device key once (e.g., TV, DVD, STB, AUX). The LED will flash once and then remain on.
4. Enter the Setup Code
   - Enter the correct code (3, 4, or 5 digits depending on the model – check the code finder tool); the LED flashes after each digit and turns off when complete, or blinks twice if invalid.
5. Save and Exit
   - For most models: The code is automatically saved once entered successfully.
   - For 00012047 and 00012083: After entering the code, press SHIFT, then OK, and press SHIFT again to save the code.
6. Test the Remote
   - Check if the desired functions can be controlled. If some functions do not work, try the next code listed for your device/brand from the code finder.

Notes:

- Invalid Code: If an invalid code is entered, the LED will flash 3 or 6 times and turn off. Enter a new code to try again.
- Exiting Setup Mode: If no button is pressed for 35 seconds, the LED will flash 6 times, and the remote will exit Setup mode without saving changes.
- Multiple Device Programming: Program any device type under any device key (e.g., TV, DVD, AUX). For single-device use, program the same code under all keys to prevent misconfiguration.
- Battery Replacement: Codes remain stored for up to 10 minutes after battery removal. After 10 minutes, all codes will be deleted.
- Code Testing: If the first code doesn’t work completely, try the next code for your device/brand.

### 2. Manual Code Search

1. Turn on your device.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED lights up permanently.

4. Press the POWER or PROG+/PROG- key (or CH+/CH- for Hama 00040074, 00012047, 00012083) repeatedly to scroll through preset codes until the device responds (e.g., turns off or changes channels).

6. Test the remote to ensure the device responds as expected. If the first code doesn’t work properly, repeat the search starting from the next code.
