How to Program Your GE Remote: Method 1 (Direct Code Entry)
This is the fastest method if you have the codes from the list above.
- Manually turn on your ONN TV.
- On your GE remote, press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light on the remote turns on. Then, release the button.
- Press the TV button on the remote. The red light will blink once and then stay on.
- Using the number pad, enter the first 4-digit code from our list. If the code is correct, the red light will turn off. If the light stays on, the code was incorrect; try another code from the list.
- Point the remote at your TV and press the POWER button. If the TV turns off, you’ve found the right code! Press POWER again to turn the TV back on and test the Volume and Channel buttons to ensure everything is working.
If the first code didn’t work, simply repeat steps 2-5 with the next code on the list.
