To pair a new Fire Stick remote without the old one, follow these steps:
- Prepare the new remote : Insert fresh batteries into the new Fire Stick remote.
- Power cycle your Fire Stick and TV : Unplug the Fire Stick and TV from power for about 60 seconds, then plug them back in.
- Put the remote into pairing mode : Press and hold the Home button on the new remote for 10 to 15 seconds until the remote’s light starts flashing (usually blue), indicating it is in pairing mode.
- Pair via Fire TV settings :
- Using a paired remote, TV remote, or the Fire TV mobile app (if you don't have any remote working), navigate to:
- Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Amazon Fire TV Remotes > Add New Remote.
- Select your new remote once it appears on the list to complete pairing.
- Using a paired remote, TV remote, or the Fire TV mobile app (if you don't have any remote working), navigate to:
- Alternative reset method : If pairing fails, try resetting the remote by pressing and holding the Menu, Back, and Left buttons simultaneously for 12 to 15 seconds, then remove and reinsert the batteries before trying to pair again.
- Use the Fire TV app as a temporary remote : If you cannot pair the new remote directly, download the Amazon Fire TV app on your smartphone, connect it to the same Wi-Fi network as your Fire Stick, and use it to navigate to the pairing settings to add the new remote.
- Keep the remote close to the Fire Stick : Ensure the new remote is within about 5 to 10 feet of the Fire Stick during pairing for best results.
This process allows pairing a new Fire Stick remote without needing the old remote
