Roku TV Remote not working after changing batteries

I changed the batteries in my Roku TV remote, which doesn't have a pairing button. Now the remote doesn't do anything. How do I pair the remote with the Roku TV now?

    If it's not a voice remote, it doesn't require pairing.  If it is a voice remote without a pairing button, press and hold the Home and Back buttons (the two buttons below the power button) for 5 seconds until the green light on the remote starts flashing.

    If it's not a voice remote, it's an IR remote.  You can verify whether an IR remote is transmitting anything by pointing it at a digital camera like the one in your phone.  Press a button on the remote and you should see a flash coming from the end of the remote on your camera's screen.
