Maintenance
Charging

Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:
- Ensure the remote is charged. Connect it to a USB-C power source for at least 30 minutes.
- Verify there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the Xbox console's IR receiver. Obstructions can block the signal.
- Confirm the Xbox console is powered on and not in a deep sleep mode that might disable IR reception.
- Backlight not activating:
- The backlight is motion-activated and designed for low-light conditions. Ensure the room is sufficiently dim for the feature to engage.
- Check battery level; a very low battery might prevent the backlight from activating.
- Volume controls not working with TV:
- The remote's volume controls are designed to operate your TV. Ensure your Xbox console is configured to send IR signals to your TV for volume control. This setting is typically found within the Xbox's TV & OneGuide settings.
- Some TV models may have limited compatibility with universal IR remotes.
- Remote feels sluggish or unresponsive:
- Ensure the remote is fully charged.
- Minimize interference from other electronic devices.
