2.2 Initial Pairing with Xbox One
The PDP Talon Media Remote uses infrared (IR) technology and typically does not require manual pairing with your Xbox One console. It should function immediately upon battery installation, provided your Xbox One's IR receiver is unobstructed.
- Ensure your Xbox One console is powered on.
- Point the remote directly at the front of your Xbox One console.
- Press any button (e.g., the Xbox Guide button) to test functionality.
Note: For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the remote and the Xbox One's IR receiver. If your Xbox One is in a cabinet, an external IR extender (not included) may be required.

3.3 TV Controls
The remote can control basic TV functions through your Xbox One's IR capabilities (if configured):

- Channel Up/Down: Change television channels.
- Mute: Mute or unmute television audio.
Note: TV control functionality relies on your Xbox One's ability to send IR signals to your TV. This may require initial setup within your Xbox One's settings (e.g., TV & OneGuide settings) and a clear line of sight to your TV's IR receiver.

- Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote's IR emitter and the Xbox One's IR receiver.
- Verify that the Xbox One console is powered on.
