Pair a Remote or Game Controller
You can pair your Amazon Fire TV device with Amazon Fire TV remotes, game controllers, and some
compatible third-party Bluetooth controllers. Up to seven of these devices may be connected at a time.
Note: If you're setting up your included Amazon remote for the first time, simply insert the two included AAA batteries
into the remote, and it will be automatically paired with your Amazon Fire TV device. For details, go to Set Up Amazon
Fire TV Hardware or Set Up Fire TV Stick Hardware on page 44. If your remote isn't discovered, press the Home
button for at least five seconds, and then release it.
If you're setting up a third-party Bluetooth remote, go to Connect a Bluetooth Accessory to Your Amazon
Fire TV.
Pair an Additional or Replacement Remote
Before you pair an Amazon remote, verify that the remote is compatible with your Amazon Fire TV device,
is within range, and has the required batteries installed.
1. From the Home screen, select Settings.
2. Select Controllers > Fire TV Remotes > Add New Remote.
3. Press and hold the Home button on your remote for five seconds.
Your Amazon Fire TV device searches for the wireless signal of the remote. After the remote or game
controller is discovered, select it from the list of discovered devices using your already paired, existing
remote or game controller.

game controllers work with your Amazon Fire TV device. To learn more about compatible game controllers,
