πŸ“Ί How to Set Up Your zTV Remote

βœ… Step 1: Activate the Battery

Remove the shipping tab from the battery compartment to power on your zTV remote.


πŸ”„ Step 2: Pair the zTV Remote with Your TV

Note: The zTV remote is preprogrammed to work with most Samsung TVs.
πŸ‘‰ You can skip to Step 3 to test if it works with your TV right away β€” no pairing needed. If it doesn’t respond, return here to complete the pairing process.

  1. Enter Pairing Mode
    Press and hold the center button on the zTV remote for about 10 seconds.

    • At the 2-second mark, the LED will blink green β€” continue holding.

    • Around 10 seconds, the LED will flash red rapidly 5 times, indicating that pairing mode has been activated.

  2. Align Your TV Remote
    Within 10 seconds of entering pairing mode, aim your original TV remote about 6 inches away from the front sensor on the zTV remote.

  3. Send the Power Signal
    Press the power button on your TV remote once β€” just a quick press (do not hold).

  4. Check for Confirmation

    • βœ… Success: The LED flashes green, indicating the pairing is complete.

    • ❌ Failure: The LED flashes red, meaning the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. You can repeat the process to try again.


πŸ” Step 3: Confirm the Pairing

To test if your zTV remote is properly paired:

  • Aim the zTV remote at your TV.

  • Press and hold the center button for 2 seconds, then release.

  • The LED will blink green, and your TV should respond.

  • If nothing happens, return to Step 2 and try pairing again.


πŸ“Œ Step 4: Position the zTV Remote

Place your zTV remote within 30 feet of your TV with a clear line of sight between the sensor and the screen.

  • For horizontal placement, ensure the front sensor faces the TV.

  • For vertical placement, aim the top sensor toward the TV.

Test the spot by pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds. If your TV responds, you’ve found a good location. Secure the remote using Velcro or another mounting method.
Common spots: bed headboard, nightstand, or side table.


⏱️ Step 5: Using the zTV Remote

  • Set a Sleep Timer
    Each press of the center button sets a 15-minute timer.
    Example: Press 3 times quickly = 45-minute timer (the LED will blink 3 times to confirm).

  • Adjust or Restart the Timer
    Press the button again to set a new duration β€” the previous timer will be canceled.

  • Manually Turn Off the TV
    Hold the center button for 2 seconds, then release. This will turn off the TV and cancel any active timer.

⚠️ Important Note:
If you use another remote to turn off the TV while a timer is active, the TV may turn back on when the timer ends. This is due to how TV power toggle functions work.
