4.2 USB Receiver Connection (for 2.4G Wireless mode)
For models that include a USB receiver (G20BTS Plus, G20S PRO, G20S), plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your device (e.g., TV Box, PC). The device should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. The remote control is plug-and-play.
4.3 Bluetooth Pairing (for G20BTS Plus / G20BTS models)
For Bluetooth-compatible models, you can connect without the USB dongle. Before pairing, it is recommended to clear any previous pairing information:
- Press and hold the [OK] and [Return] buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. This clears existing code information and improves pairing success.
- On your device (e.g., Android TV Box, Smart TV), navigate to the Bluetooth settings.
- Search for available devices. The remote control should appear as "G20S Pro" or a similar name.
- Select the remote control to pair.
Note: When using with Android 10 ATV devices (e.g., MECO.. KM6, KM3, KM2, KM1), voice search, gyroscope, and other functions can be achieved via Bluetooth without the USB receiver. For other non-ATV Android set-top boxes, voice search may require the USB receiver even in Bluetooth mode.
