How to Pair Amazon Fire TV Remote?

With the purchase of every Amazon Fire TV, you get a compatible remote. However, you may need another remote or maybe controllers to enable yourself to watch your TV from anywhere. Setting up the TV remote might be a daunting task for some, but anyone can easily pair the remote by following the following steps.
Step 1
Check “Compatibility”
Before you think of using the new remote, you must ascertain that the remote you are about to pair is compatible with the Amazon TV. You must also make sure that it has the right batteries and it is in the range of the Amazon Fire TV device that you are using. While it is common sense to have batteries in your remote, many people forget to check the compatibility. If the remote is not compatible with the Amazon Fire TV, then do not even bother trying to pair it up because it will not work.
