Learning Set-Up for STB & Favourites - Flipper

This article refers to our  Flipper Big Button Remote Control

This guide explains how to program the Flipper remote control with a STB that cannot be paired using the code list or automatic code search.

We will not go into programming steps in-depth here as these can be found in the Flipper instruction manual, instead, this guide mainly focuses on how the programming process is different in

Programming your TV

Please follow the instructions in the Flipper manual for setting up your TV before moving onto programming the set-top box.

Programming your STB

Summary of differences

• Initial programming - When using the learning set-top you only need to program the channel up + channel down + on/off button (unless also using favourites)
• Saving favourites - Before attempting to program favourites the 0-9 buttons must also be individually programmed using the Learning Method

Programming the Flipper - Step by Step Instructions

1

Follow the instructions for programming the Flipper for Learning Set-Up ( instructions) with your set-top box remote control. Remember to replace "TV" for "STB" when following the instructions, for example, you should press and hold STB + On/Off until you get a solid light

2

You will need to program the following buttons using the method above; Channel Up, Channel Down, On/Off (you probably won't need to program volume/mute as this is controlled by your TV)

3

Test the buttons - To make sure they have been programmed correctly

4

Press & release the ADD button - This enters dual-mode where the Flipper now controls your TV + STB

5

Test all buttons on the Flipper - The Flipper should now control your TV volume/mute, and your STB channels. The on/off button should operate both devices

2) Programming a Favourite Channel List for your STB

Before programming a favourites channel list you must repeat the Learning Set-Up programming for the 1-0 buttons that are located inside the Flipper remote control. The reason for this is these are the buttons that are used by the Flipper when programming favourite channels.

Please see an example below of the Learning Set-Up for the number 1 button on the Flipper remote control. We are only providing shortcut instructions below, for full instructions on the Learning Set-Up please refer to page 12 of the instructions.
