New genie remote

My old remote got damaged beyond repair so had to purchase a new one. The replacement looks identical but I can’t get it to sync with my TV. This one will not let me input tv code directly, it only does the auto TV detect, (mute-enter) but it will not pick it up. Looked everywhere to find way to enter tv code, can’t find. Thank you.

No, the big button in the middle is SELECT.  ENTER is at the bottom right under the 9 key.

You would be surprised at how many people make the same mistake glad you mentioned it so we could fix it.
