In the first case, remove the batteries from the remote and reinsert them. If that doesn\u2019t work, replace the old <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/reviews\/the-best-aaa-batteries-for-your-devices\/\">batteries<\/a> with new ones and see if that fixes the issue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00005T3E4?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Mi-JGj9GL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Doing the above fixes most battery-related issues with your Fire TV Stick remote.

You must make sure your TV and your remote are within this range. If both items are far away from each other, bring them closer and see if the remote functions.<\/p>\n<p>You must also ensure there are no obstacles between your TV and your remote. If there are, remove them and your remote will work.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pair_Your_Remote_With_Your_Fire_TV_Stick\"><\/span>Pair Your Remote With Your Fire TV Stick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A possible reason your Fire TV Stick remote doesn\u2019t work is that you haven\u2019t paired it with your Stick. This is usually the case with new remotes, but it\u2019s also possible your existing remote has been unpaired for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it\u2019s easy to pair a remote with your Stick. To do that, first, turn on your Fire TV Stick.
