The Vodafone Giga Box 4K is a Set-Top-Box which is based on the Bluetooth technology. However, all our One For All remote controls are based on the Infrared technology. This means, that our One For All remotes won’t be able to control your Vodafone Giga Box 4K. To read more about the differences between the Bluetooth and Infrared technology, please click on the following link: What is the difference between Bluetooth (BT), Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) remote controls? There is still a possibility to control the Vodafone Giga Box with the One For All remote control. Please enable the CEC mode on your TV. The CEC function allows you to control the Vodafone Giga Box in the TV mode.

If you do not have a code for your device, then you can:

  • Use the "Find your setup code" tool and enter the exact make and model number of your device.
  • Use the learning feature of your universal remote control to copy the functions from the original remote control. To use the learning feature, please refer to the user manual of your One For All remote control or read the related articles in our online knowledge base.

However we advise you to contact your local support on the following website: https://www.oneforall.com/support/universal-remotes.

The Apple TV 4 supports Apple TV remotes from previous generations as well, for which the setup codes 2615 and 1115 have been created. Should the Apple TV not respond with the above mentioned codes, the TV4 also has the capability to learn commands from a remote. This way, you can setup the One For All remote for usage. Please refer to the documentation of your Apple TV 4 for instructions.

On the Essence, the SAT key should be used for programming the Freeview.

On the Essence 4, you can use the DVD or AMP key for your DVD-Home Cinema. After programming the set-up code, please test the volume keys. Also please check if the 1-0 keys change the inputs and if play and stop work correctly with the DVD-Home Cinema.

The Amazon Fire TV is a streaming stick which is based on the Bluetooth technology. One For All remotes are not compatible with Bluetooth. There is still a possibility to control the Amazon Fire TV with the One For All remote control. Please enable the CEC mode on your TV. The CEC function allows you to control the Amazon Fire Stick in the TV mode.

Before resetting the Essence remote, please take the following into account:
If you have ever sent in your remote control to our Upgrade Service for an update, these codes will be erased as well. In that case, it is highly advised not to perform a factory reset.

To reset your remote to the manufacturer's setting please use the following procedure:

  1. Hold the MAGIC key down until the LED blinks once and then twice.
  2. Enter code 981 the LED will blink four times in total.
    You can now setup your remote again.

It is possible to lock the volume on your Essence remote to a single device key (for example: the volume control could be linked only to a TV). This means that when the remote is in DVD or SAT mode and the volume keys are pressed, the TV volume will still be activated.

If you would like to have the volume locked to a particular device, please follow the procedure outlined below:

  • Hold down MAGIC until the LED stays on.
  • Enter code 993, the light blinks twice.
  • Press the relevant device you wish to assign volume control to.
  • Press MAGIC once, the light will blink twice.

To move a particular key within the same device mode:

  1. Press and hold the MAGIC key until the LED stays on.
  2. Enter code 994 the light will blink twice.
  3. Using MODE select the relevant device.
  4. Press the key to move once.
  5. Press the key to overwrite once, the light will blink twice.

To move a particular key from one device mode to another:

  1. Press and hold the MAGIC until the LED stays on.
  2. Enter code 994, the light will blink twice.
  3. Using MODE select the relevant device.
  4. Press the key to move once
  5. Using MODE select the relevant device where the key will be moved.
  6. Press the key to overwrite once, the light will blink twice.

If you would like to delete a learned function that you no longer require, please follow the procedure outlined below:

  • Hold down MAGIC until the light blinks once and then twice and stays on
  • Enter the code 976, the light will blink twice
  • Press the MODE key to select the relevant device key
  • Press the learned key twice, the device key will blink twice
  • If there is another key to be deleted, please repeat steps 1 to 4. The key that has been cleared will now perform the default function.

Additional Information:
You can delete a learned key by overwriting it with a new learned function. If a learned function used in a macro is subsequently deleted, the macro will revert to sending the keys original function. If you would like to reset all learned keys in one device mode, after step 3 hold the Magic key until the light blinks twice

Your One For All remote is capable of copying functions straight from the original remote control that came with your device. To use the Learning feature, please follow the instructions below:

  • Hold down MAGIC until the light blinks once and then twice and stays on
  • Enter code 975, the light will blink twice.
  • Press the MODE key to select the relevant device key.
  • Press the key on the One For All where you would like to place the learned function, the device LED will flash rapidly.
  • Press and hold the key on the original remote control that you wish to learn until the device key on the One For All blinks twice.
  • Press and hold the MAGIC key to store the learned function until the light blinks twice.


Additional Information:
It is possible to learn up to 100 functions on this remote. To learn multiple keys, you can repeat steps 4 and 5 instead. When you have finished learning all of the required functions, press and hold MAGIC to store. A time-out will occur if no signal is received from the original remote within 5 seconds. To retry, press the key to be learned on again. It is possible to learn onto an empty device mode. The functions from this learned only device mode can also be used in Macros and Volume lock. One long blink indicates the remote did not capture the signal correctly. Two long blinks indicate the memory is full.

A long blink indicates that the remote failed to learn the signal from the original remote.

There could be a number of reasons for this.  Check the following:

  • Make sure the original remote that came with the device is in working order, by testing it on your device. If it is not responding, it might not be working correctly. 
  • Make sure you are not performing the learning procedure under bright lighting or in bright sunlight as this can interfere. 
  • Ensure that the two remotes are approximately 2 to 3 cm apart, and that the transmitting end of the original remote is facing the remote.
  • Sometimes holding the key on the original remote down for slightly longer may help, and conversely sometimes quickly pressing and releasing the key on the original works better.
  • The batteries used should have sufficient power. Even though the remote works when using it to switch on and off devices, it might not have enough power to be able to learn additional functions. Please replace a new set of batteries
  • It is also possible that the memory on your remote control has reached the maximum capacity due to too many learned or other customized functions. Please remove some existing learned keys.
  • Some manufacturer’s remotes use a different signal, or infra-red protocol, that the One For All remote cannot reproduce. These are commonly signals that use a higher frequency. Radio frequency remotes cannot be learned from, because these signals are not infra-red based.

Yes, your Essence is capable of creating Macros. You can program your remote to issue a sequence of commands at the press of one button. For example; you may want to turn off your TV, DVD and Satellite at the same time.

To use the Macro feature, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Hold the magic key down until the light stays on.
  2. Enter the code 995, the light will blink twice.
  3. Press the key on which you want to program the Macro sequence.
  4. Enter the sequence of keys that you would like in the Macro.
  5. To end the Macro sequence, press and hold the Magic key until the light blinks twice. The device key will blink once and then twice.
