Pair a Remote or Game Controller

Amazon Fire TV supports the pairing of Amazon Fire TV remotes, Amazon Fire game controllers, and
compatible Bluetooth-enabled third-party wireless game controllers. Up to seven of these devices may
be connected at a time.
Note: If you're setting up your included Amazon Fire TV remote for the first time, simply insert the two
included AAA batteries into the remote, and it will be automatically paired with your Amazon Fire TV. If
your remote isn't discovered, press the Home button for at least five seconds, and then release it.

Pair an Additional or Replacement Remote

Before you pair an Amazon Fire TV remote, verify that the remote is compatible with Amazon Fire TV,
is within range, and has the required batteries installed.
1. From the Home screen, select Settings, and then select Controllers.
2. Select Amazon Fire TV Remotes, and then select Add New Remote.
3. Press and hold the Home button on your remote for five seconds.
Amazon Fire TV searches for the wireless signal of the remote. After the remote or game controller is
discovered, select it from the list of discovered devices using your already paired, existing remote or
game controller.

Pair a Game Controller

Before you pair a game controller, verify that the game controller is compatible with Amazon Fire TV,
is within range, and has the required batteries installed.
To see which controllers are compatible with a game, navigate to a game, and then select More Info.
On the overview page, you'll find the controller information in the Works With box. Many third-party
Bluetooth game controllers work with Amazon Fire TV. To learn more about compatible game
controllers, visit www.amazon.co.uk/mfkcontrollers.
Note: Fire TV supports Xbox 360 controllers through a USB connection. Use a third party cable to
connect one controller or a USB wireless receiver to connect up to four controllers. See manufacturer
instructions for connecting to a wireless receiver.
1. From the Home screen, select Settings, and then select Controllers.
2. Select Bluetooth Gamepads, and then select Add Bluetooth Gamepads.
3. Press and hold the Home button on your game controller for five seconds.
Amazon Fire TV searches for the wireless signal of the game controller. After the game controller is
discovered, select it from the list of discovered devices using your already paired, existing remote or
game controller.
LED indicators at the front of the controller light up when the remote is on
to indicate what player number the controller has been assigned (if the
game uses player numbers).
