If you have an Amazon Fire TV, the Firestick remote control may be a really helpful item to have around the house. However, before you can begin using the remote, you must first couple it with your television.

You’ll notice a minor difference in the procedure based on whether or not you already have linked remotes, as well as whether or not you’re using an off-brand Bluetooth remote.

Learn all you need to know about pairing your Firestick or other compatible remote with your Amazon Fire TV in this article.

How to pair a Firestick remote with Tv

The Home button on your Firestick remote should be held down for a full 10 seconds before you may use it.
To confirm that your remote has been linked, you will either see the blue light on your remote flash a few times, or you will get a confirmation message on the screen. Disconnect the Firestick from its power source and remove the batteries, then re-plug it in and replace the batteries if you are still unable to view either. Try pressing the Home button once more to see if it helps.
