How to program a Terk universal remote
Before you start the programming, make sure to put in the batteries in the Terk remote. Also, it’d be helpful to have codes by your side.
Step
Power on the device
First of all, you need to power on the device that you want to connect the Terk remote to. For instance, if you want to use your remote with a TV, then turn your TV on.
Step
Press the device button on Terk remote
Now, on your remote, you have to press and hold the button for your device. For example, if you are programming the remote for your TV, then press and hold the TV button. When the power button lights up, keep holding the button.
Step
Enter the code
Next, while you’re holding down the Power button, enter the code for your device. When you press the first number, the power button light will turn off.
Step
See if the power button is on or off
Now, keep holding down the device button as you’re entering the code. When you’re done with the code, look at the power button – if it lights up, you have entered the right code. If it blinks four times and turns off, then the code is wrong, or you have missed a step. In this case, you will have to repeat the process again.
How to program a Terk universal remote without codes
If you don’t know the right codes, you can try this auto code search method –
Step
Turn on the device
First, manually turn on the device that you want to use the remote with.
Step
Press and hold the device button
Next, press the device key corresponding to the device you want to use the remote with. For example, for TV, press and hold the ‘TV’ button. Do this until the power button lights up.
Step
Press and hold the power button
When the power button lights up, you have to press and hold the power button with your other hand. So now, you’re pressing and holding the power button as well as the device button. Do this until the power button’s light turns off and then turns on and stays on.
Step
Press ‘Play’ button
Next, aim the Terk remote at your TV or the selected device and then press the ‘Play’ button, and wait for five seconds for the codes to be tested. If your TV (or your selected device) turns off, you can move forward with the next step.
However, if your device is still on, you can press ‘Play’ again and send more codes to test. Keep pressing ‘Play’ every five seconds until the device turns off.
Step
Press ‘Rewind’ button
After your device turns off, press the ‘Rewind’ button and wait for two seconds. If your device powers on, then press the ‘Stop’ button.
If your device remains off, press the ‘Rewind’ button again – repeat this every two seconds until the device turns on.
Step
Press the ‘Stop’ button
When the device turns on, quickly press the ‘Stop’ button to lock the code.
Conclusion
All in all, the Terk universal remote can make things easier for you, as it can help you control multiple devices with just one remote. You can set it up easily with the correct Terk universal remote codes, and the process will only take a few minutes. Also, if the first code does not work, repeat the process but use the next code this time.
