How to Pair Your Roku Remote without a Pairing Button?

If you’re wondering how to pair your Roku remote without a pairing button, you’ve come to the right place.

As long as you have a working remote, pairing is simple. However, after hundreds of clicks, the button may start acting strangely or become unresponsive.

If this happens, you’ll start having problems because synchronizing a Roku device is so important.

But don’t worry, you can work around it.

To begin, you may want to understand what a pairing button looks like and how to distinguish it from the rows of buttons on a remote. This one, on the other hand, is a little different.

Unlike the other buttons, the pairing button is hidden beneath the battery cover. To see it, you must first remove the lid.

The purpose of this button is to connect the remote to a Roku device so that you can control the on-screen settings remotely.

Open the battery compartment, long-press the button until it flashes a green light, and wait for it to recognize your Roku device.

What if the button stops working?

Why isn’t my Roku remote pairing?

If you’ve been using the button for a long time, it’s possible that it’s worn out. Liquid spillage may also be a cause of the damage.

Have you inadvertently spilt water or coffee on it?

Moisture is a detriment to electronic devices, so it should not enter any part of your remote, including the pair button.

It’s possible that the malfunction was caused by liquid exposure.

Another common reason is that you failed to unpair the old remote.

Always remember to unpair the old remote before using a new one.

Where is the pairing button on Roku remote?

If you couldn’t find it, it’s likely that your Roku remote doesn’t have it. Please keep in mind that only enhanced remotes have a pairing button.

Those who use infrared technology do not have this feature and thus do not require pairing. They are immediately ready for use.

Check out the battery compartment under the back cover if you have the enhanced model. There should be a button there.
