Using the Magic Remote

Pairing (Registering) the Magic Remote

To use the Magic Remote, you must first pair it with your TV:

Insert batteries into the Magic Remote and turn on the TV.
Point the Magic Remote at your TV and press the ✔️ (Wheel / OK) button.

If pairing fails, turn the TV off and on again, then try pairing once more.

Unpairing (Deregistering) the Magic Remote

To unpair the Magic Remote from your TV, press and hold the ? (HOME) and ↩️ (BACK) buttons simultaneously for five seconds.

Holding the [Screen Remote] button can cancel and re-register the Magic Remote at once.

Pointer Operation

To make the pointer appear on the screen, slightly shake the Magic Remote left and right, or press the ? (HOME), ⎗ (INPUT), or ⚙️ (Q. Settings) buttons. (On some TV models, the pointer appears when you turn the ✔️ (Wheel / OK) button.)
The pointer will disappear if it is not used for a certain period or if the Magic Remote is placed on a flat surface.
If the pointer is not responding smoothly, reset it by moving it to the edge of the screen.
Due to its advanced features, the Magic Remote consumes batteries faster than a standard remote.
