RC66RX not programmed to HR24 receiver

I have 2 of the same remotes programed to the same receiver in RF mode. I have 3rd i want to program for outside my RV.  The 3rd remote will not pull up the menu. How do I reset so I can program it? Or can I copy one of the remotes already programed. The batteries are new.

However, if you have one of the those two programmed RF mode remotes accessible, use that instead of the front panel.

Go to Menu, scroll down to Settings & Help, go to Settings, scroll down to Remote Control, click IR/RF setup, choose RF and then ‘Continue’, and then follow the on-screen instructions for that NEW remote.

You’ll need to use the receiver buttons on the front panel and click the Menu button. Then, keep pressing the down arrow on the front panel till you get to Settings & Help. Click SELECT on the front panel twice. After the receiver enters settings, press the down arrow until you get to Remote Control. Once there, press SELECT on the front panel, press the down arrow, and then press SELECT on IR/RF Setup. From there, change the remote type to IR by clicking SELECT on the front panel, the down arrow to get to IR, and then SELECT once again. Then, press the RIGHT ARROW on the front panel and press SELECT on ‘Continue.’ 

the remote should now be functional. From there, you can go back to IR/RF Setup to set up the remote for RF mode.

NOTICE: These steps REQUIRE the front panel

You have to use the front panel touch buttons to return the HR24 to IR then reprogram it to RF. Not sure how to add or copy more remotes
