This article teaches how to pair your C Spire remote with your TV. Pairing your remote enables you to utilize your C Spire remote to turn the TV on/off and adjust the volume among other features.

I. Identify Your Remote

Take a look at the images below and identify which type of remote control you have:

II. AUTO-SEARCH – WILLOW REMOTE

Make sure your TV set is turned on. (The set-top box does not need to be turned on to perform this programing feature)

1. Press and hold both the 1 and the 3 buttons at the same time on the remote control for approximately 3 seconds until the TV standby button remains lit, then release both buttons
2. Point the remote control at the TV set and press and hold down the TV Standby Button or the Mute button on the remote control
3. When the TV either turns off or brings up the MUTE symbol on screen, then release that button. This may take up to 5 minutes to happen
4. Press and hold the Text/SHIFT button and then at the same time press the STOP button to finish setting up the TV control mode. The TV standby button will go out. The TV control function is now programmed into the remote control.

Should the TV brand be not successfully found by the remote control then the TV standby button will flash rapidly and the remote control will revert to normal operation. No TV brand code will be stored.
