To pair your Firestick remote with your Fire TV, follow these steps:
- Power on your Fire TV and ensure it is connected to your TV.
- Press and hold the Home button on your Firestick remote for about 10 seconds. This puts the remote into pairing mode, indicated by a blinking light on the remote and an on-screen message showing the remote is connecting
- Once the Fire TV recognizes the remote, a confirmation message will appear on the screen, and you can start using the remote
If you are pairing a replacement remote or adding an additional remote:
- Go to Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Amazon Fire TV Remotes > Add New Remote on your Fire TV.
- Press and hold the Home button on the new remote for 10 seconds to initiate pairing.
- When the new remote appears on the screen, press the Select button on your old remote to confirm pairing
If the remote does not pair:
- Try resetting the remote by unplugging the Fire TV from power for 60 seconds.
- Press and hold the Left, Menu, and Back buttons on the remote for 10-12 seconds.
- Remove batteries, plug the Fire TV back in, wait 60 seconds, then reinsert batteries and press the Home button for 10 seconds
- Replace batteries if needed and ensure you are close enough to the Fire TV device without interference
You can pair up to seven remotes to a single Fire TV device
. This process works for most Fire TV remotes and compatible replacements
. In summary, the key step is holding the Home button on the remote for about 10 seconds while the Fire TV is on, then confirming the pairing on screen or via the old remote if adding a new one
