Step 5: Select ‘Pair Remote’ or ‘Add Remote’ Option
Within the remote control settings menu, look for an option like ‘Pair Remote’ or ‘Add Remote.’ Select this option to initiate the pairing process.
Step 6: Follow on-screen Instructions
After selecting the ‘Pair Remote’ or ‘Add Remote’ option, follow any on-screen instructions provided by your TV. This may involve pressing specific buttons on your TV’s remote or entering a code.
