If your remote doesn't work during setup, try these steps.

  • If your remote doesn't pair automatically, press the Home

    button until "Press

    Play Pause

    to start" appears on-screen (about 10 seconds).

  • Move your remote closer to your Fire TV device, within 10 ft (3 m).

  • Remove the batteries from your remote and wait 30 seconds.

  • Put the batteries back in and then press and hold the Home

    button again.

  • Reset your Fire TV remote.
