Doesn't the way it's explained in the user manual work? Or does the user manual not mention how it can be done? Then consider the idea that it can't be done.

So make the call to seller and maker and if they fail to correct the issue, call it a dud and arrange for return. Next time you know to ask before you pay for the next one.

On other makes. The features are listed but only usable with the full feature remote.

Consider this remote. It's all I needed at one time.
