How to connect and configure the Beeline remote control?

Setting up the Beeline TV remote control is a set of operations designed to connect the remote control to other devices and ensure its correct operation. The universal device combines four remote controls at once, which can be used to control the following equipment – TV, set-top box, DVD and others.

Varieties of the universal remote control from Beeline

Beeline provides users with various options for remote controls. All of them have almost the same principle of operation and configuration features. Using such devices is very simple, so even inexperienced viewers will cope with the implementation of certain settings.
Beeline has the following types of remote controls:

• With Learn key. Oldest MXv3 models where the “Setup” button is replaced by “Learn”. It also puts the instrument into learning mode.
• No setup key. They can be either black or white, unlike other species that exist only in a dark shade. Such models are considered obsolete, and are rarely found on sale.
• With Setup key. These are the latest models. Their benefits include increased reliability, easier setup, and full control over your TV or DVD player.

Initially, all remote controls are connected only to the branded console. The fact of connection is easy to determine – on the bottom panel of the device there is an inscription: Motorola, Cisco or Beeline.

Also in 2017, the provider began offering Jupiter set-top boxes to its customers. The Cisco, Motorola or Beeline remote control cannot be configured for it – you must use the remote control that comes with the kit.

1. Press the STB button (it switches the device to the decoder control mode).
2. Press the Setup and C buttons at the same time and hold them until the STB blinks twice.

Now let’s talk about how to set up the remote control from Beeline to the set-top box from the Motorola brand:

1. Press the STB button.
2. Press the Setup and B buttons simultaneously and hold them until the STB button flashes twice.

If you need to turn on the Beeline prefix, or any other, without a remote control, then press the button with a characteristic icon on the top or back of the device:

The password must correspond to a specific TV (this information can be found in the instructions that came with the device, or on the Internet by searching for the TV model).

No matter which connection option you choose, the TV must be turned on during operation.

Autotune

The automatic setting option is available for Beebox, Motorola, Jupiter universal remote controls. This method is simpler and does not require any extra actions from the user. How to carry out the procedure in auto mode:

5. When the device turns off, it means that the code has been found. Release the button on the remote.
6. Check if the remote is working properly – for example, turn it up / down, change the channel, or go to the menu.

Manual setting

If the previous method of connecting the Beeline remote control to the TV did not work, proceed to programming in manual mode. To do this, you need to find a four-digit code that is suitable for your brand of TV (the table with codes is below). Usually each brand provides several suitable codes at the same time, so if one combination does not work, use another. Sometimes the viewer has to sort through a dozen or more codes to find the right one. How to do manual setup:

1. Press the “TV” button and aim the control unit at TV.
2. Press and hold the Setup button until the LED blinks twice.
3. Enter the four-digit code corresponding to the TV.
4. If the indicator blinks twice, it means that the code came up and the procedure was completed successfully. If the light on the remote control turns on and stays on for a long time, this informs the user of an error. In this case, enter the following code.

Combinations must be prepared in advance, because if you do not enter a single digit from the control device within a few seconds, it will go into standby mode and the process will need to be repeated from the very beginning.

How to set the backlight of the remote control?

To make the batteries in the remote control run out more slowly, you can adjust (turn off) the button illumination mode. It’s easy to do this:

1. Press the “TV” button while pointing the remote at the TV.
2. Press the “Setup” button for 3-5 seconds until the indicator blinks twice.
3. Click on Guide. All indicators will be off. If you want to turn the button illumination back on, follow the same steps.

How to connect and configure other remote controls to the Beeline set-top box?

Beeline-TV sets are available in several modifications. Each set-top box works with a specific remote control model. When starting to pair the remote control with the device, you should carefully read the user manual so that in case of any defect (error) you can restore the settings in time. What points to pay attention to:

• The presence of “smart” functions for learning the remote control.
• Correspondence of the remote control model to the TV tuner.
• The presence of provider unlock codes, which are used immediately when connecting the set-top box.
• Algorithm of actions in case of device failure.
• Possibility to set automatic parameters.

If the old remote has been replaced with a new one and the manual is missing, please follow the instructions below. Pairing options and settings are different for each remote control model.

Motorola MXv and RCU300T

Two models of Motorola remotes differ in shape (one is round, the other is rectangular), and the presence of some functions. But the steps for connecting the remote control to the TV are the same. To set the control unit to TB, do the following:

In the Beeline service, they can exchange the remote control from the set-top box for a new one for free within a year, but on condition that the problem is not only in the remote control, but also in the tuner itself.

Beeline has a hotline for solving user problems. If the problem could not be solved on your own, call specialized support – 8 800 700 8000 (Beeline TV).

Diagnostic methods

If the device is properly connected and configured, there are usually no problems during use. But sometimes Beeline set-top boxes may not respond to certain actions, function only very close to the device, or show no signs of life at all. To know what action to take, you need to diagnose the remote control. Provided that the remote control was not dropped and water did not get on it, but it does not change channels, does not turn up the volume, etc., it is worth performing the following diagnostic steps – press the “STB” button and pay attention to the LEDs. Further:

• If the light comes on, you should do a factory reset.
• If the indicator does not light up, the batteries need to be replaced.

The set-top box or TV does not respond to the remote

If the viewing device does not respond to pressing the remote control buttons, and at the same time the light on the remote control blinks red or stays green for a long time, use this video instruction:

The remote does not respond to switches

If the remote control does not respond in any way to button presses, the first thing to do is change the batteries. This is a banal, but the most common cause of such a malfunction. When replacing the batteries did not help, you can try to disassemble the remote control and see if the contacts inside the control device have gone off (do not do it yourself if you do not have experience with this kind of work with equipment). Step-by-step video instruction for disassembling the remote control:

Reset settings / unbind the remote control

If the remote control cannot be programmed the first time, or malfunctions occur, you must reset the Beeline remote control (this process is also called rebooting the remote control). Follow the same steps to unlock the control unit. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. Press the STB button.
2. Without releasing the previous one, press and hold the Setup button until STB blinks twice.
3. Enter code 977 and watch the STB indicator blink four times.

Knowing how to reset the Beeline remote control to factory settings is important when connecting the remote control to any device. In case of problems, you can immediately apply this method.

Often a full reset is used if the remote control from the Beeline set-top box is frozen.
