Where is the black pairing button on Roku remote?
Remove the back cover from your Roku remote. Underneath the batteries, you should see a small circular button: this is the pairing button. Bring the remote as close as you can to your Roku device, then hold down that button for 3 seconds. A pairing dialogue should pop up on screen within a few more seconds.
Roku streaming players are low-power devices that are designed to remain on and always connected to the internet. There is no “power button” to press on or off. A permanent connection also allows your Roku player to download new OS software and channel updates automatically without interrupting your use of the player.
Why can’t I pair my Roku remote?
To reset your Roku remote, you need to take out the batteries, unplug your Roku device and plug it back in, replace the batteries, and hold down the reset button until the remote re-pairs. Unplug the power cable from your Roku player, wait for 5 to 10 seconds, and plug it back in again.
