How to pair an Amazon Fire Stick remote
1. Turn on the television that your Amazon Fire Stick is set up on, and switch to the right HDMI channel.
2. Select "Settings" from the Fire TV's menu. If you're trying to set up a remote without already having another remote paired, use the Fire TV app for iPhone or Android, which can be used as a temporary remote.
3. Select "Controllers and Bluetooth Devices," and then select the "Amazon Fire TV Remote" option on the screen.
4. Ensure that batteries are in the remote. Press and hold the "Home" button for 10 seconds, so that the device can locate the wireless signal from the remote.
Repeat this as often as you need to pair all your remotes.
