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
Check You can check to see if a remote is bound to Xtender – just go stand in front of the Xtender and press the
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
