Pair a Remote or Game Controller
Amazon Fire TV supports the pairing of Amazon Fire TV remotes, Amazon Fire game
controllers, and compatible Bluetooth-enabled third-party wireless game controllers. Up to
seven of these devices may be connected at a time.
Note: If you’re setting up your included Amazon Fire TV 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. If your remote isn’t discovered, press the Home button for at least
five seconds, and then release it.
Pair an Additional or Replacement Remote
Before you pair an Amazon Fire TV remote, verify that the remote is compatible with
Amazon Fire TV, is within range, and has the required batteries installed.
1. From the Home screen, select Settings, and then select Controllers.
2. Select Amazon Fire TV Remotes, and then select Add New Remote.
3. Press and hold the Home button on your remote for five seconds.
4. Amazon Fire TV 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.
