Firestick Remote Pairing

Follow these steps if your Fire TV remote is not pairing with your Firestick.

!

Before you begin

Make sure your Firestick is powered on, your remote has fresh batteries, and the remote is close to the Firestick.

1

Insert fresh batteries

Remove the old batteries from the Fire TV remote and insert a fresh set.

2

Move the remote close to the Firestick

Hold the remote near your Firestick while pairing. This helps the device detect the remote properly.

3

Hold the Home button

Press and hold the Home button on the remote for around 10 to 15 seconds.

4

Unplug the Firestick

If the remote still has not paired, unplug the Firestick from its power source for 60 seconds.

5

Reset the remote

While the Firestick is unplugged, hold the Left, Menu and Back buttons at the same time for 15 seconds.

6

Reconnect and pair again

Remove the batteries, plug the Firestick back in, put the batteries back in, then hold the Home button for 10 seconds.
