Air Conditioner Universal Remotes: How They Work and How to Set Up
A universal AC remote is a convenient tool that allows you to control multiple air conditioner brands with a single device. Whether you want to adjust temperatures, set timers, or switch modes, a universal AC remote simplifies your daily life.
1. How Universal AC Remotes Work
A universal AC remote operates by sending infrared (IR) signals that correspond to specific codes of different air conditioner brands.
Main Features:
- Temperature and fan speed control
- Cooling, heating, fan, and auto modes
- Timer function for energy saving

2. Manual Code Input
Manual code entry allows the remote to communicate with your specific AC brand by entering the manufacturer’s code.
Step-by-Step:
- Turn on your air conditioner.
- Press and hold the Set button until the LED blinks.
- Enter the brand code listed in the instruction manual.
- Test by pressing Power or changing modes.
3. Automatic Code Search
If the brand code is unknown, the remote can automatically search for the correct code.
Step-by-Step:
- Turn on the AC.
- Press and hold the Set button until the LED flashes.
- Release the Set button when the AC responds or beeps.
- Test by pressing Power or changing modes.
Since each universal remote control has unique code search and pairing functions, the setup process may differ slightly. We recommend consulting the specific instruction manual for your model to ensure correct configuration and operation.
