# Pair a Fire TV Remote

You can pair your Fire TV device with compatible Fire TV remotes and some compatible third-party Bluetooth controllers.

#### Video: Pairing a Fire TV Remote

Note: Pairing a remote with Fire TV is not the same as setting up an Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation) to control your equipment. Visit Set Up Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation) to Control Your Equipment for instructions.

You can have up to seven remotes or controllers paired to your Fire TV device at one time.

Tip: The remote that comes with your Fire TV device will automatically pair after you insert the included batteries during setup. If your remote doesn't pair automatically, press the Home button for up to 10 seconds to try again.

For Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation):

If you have an Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation), you see a light near the Voice button rapidly blink amber when it is in discovery mode. You then see three blue flashes when it successfully pairs.

You can tell you have an Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation) because it has power, volume, and mute buttons. Other Fire TV remotes do not have a light.

If the light on an Alexa Voice Remote (2nd Generation) slowly blinks amber, the remote isn’t paired. If the light is red, the battery is low. You don’t see the light every time you push a button.

For more information about setting up your Fire TV Stick, go to Set Up Fire TV Stick .

Many third-party Bluetooth game controllers also work with Fire TV devices. If you're setting up a third-party Bluetooth remote, go to Connect a Bluetooth Accessory to Your Fire TV.

## Pair an Additional or Replacement Remote

To pair an additional or replacement Fire TV remote:

1. Select Settings from the Fire TV menu.
2. Open Controllers & Bluetooth Devices.
3. Select Amazon Fire TV Remotes, the select Add New Remote.
4. Press and hold the Home button on your new remote for up to 10 seconds.

Your Fire TV device then searches for the remote's wireless signal. After the remote is discovered, it displays in the list on-screen. Use one of your already-paired remotes or controllers to select the new remote from the list.

You can then start using the new remote with your Fire TV device.
