2.2 Pairing Method

To enable the magic pointer and voice functions, the remote control must be paired with your LG Smart TV. Ensure your TV is connected to a WiFi network for these functions to work correctly. If you are replacing an original remote, it is recommended to disconnect it and remove its batteries before pairing the new remote, as only one smart remote can be paired at a TV at a time.

Follow these steps to pair your remote:

  1. Manually turn on your LG Smart TV using the power button on the TV itself.
  2. Point the YiBiChin AN-MR21GC remote control directly towards your TV from a close distance.
  3. Press and hold the Scroll Wheel (OK button) on the remote control for a few seconds until the pairing process is complete. A confirmation message should appear on your TV screen.

When the remote control's performance degrades (e.g., unresponsive buttons, weak signal), it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 2.1 to replace the two AA batteries.

4.2 Cleaning

To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the remote's electronics.

  • Obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR receiver.

5.2 Pointer or Voice Function Not Working

  • WiFi Connection: Verify that your LG Smart TV is connected to a stable WiFi network. The pointer and voice functions rely on this connection.
  • Re-pair Remote: Re-pairing the remote (Section 2.2) can often resolve issues with these advanced functions.
