Setup

1. Initial Charge: Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the remote using either solar power or the USB-C port. Place the remote with the solar panel facing up in ambient light, or connect a USB-A to Type-C cable (not included) to the USB-C port for a quick charge.
2. Pairing with your Samsung Smart TV:
   To pair the remote with your Samsung Smart TV, ensure your TV is powered on.
   Press and hold the BACK button (curved arrow) and the PLAY/PAUSE button (play/pause icon) simultaneously for approximately 3-5 seconds.
   Release the buttons when the light above the power button on the remote begins to flash or when a pairing message appears on your TV screen.
   Your TV should display a confirmation message once the pairing is complete.

Charging

This remote offers two convenient charging methods:

• USB-C Charging: For faster charging or when solar power is unavailable, use a USB-A to Type-C cable (not included) to connect the remote to a power source. A 5-minute charge can provide several months of normal use. The built-in battery is designed for a long lifespan of over 10 years.
