Customer Replay


yes

Standard IR remotes use an invisible Infra-Red light to transmit remote key selections. To ensure IR remotes are operating reliably, they must be pointed directly at the front of your TCL Roku TV.
Verify that there is a clear path between your TV and remote. Make sure that there are no obstructions between your TCL remote and the remote sensor located in front of the TV.

Customer Replay

Do you have this button on your remote?

Customer Replay

Customer Replay

Open the battery compartment to locate the pairing button - as shown in above image.

Press and hold the pairing button for three seconds or until the pairing light starts flashing. If the light does not flash, try again. If the light still does not flash, then you will need to replace your batteries. After replacing the batteries, repeat step 1.
when it's done, please Restart your TCL Roku TV
