Ultra Roku: remote won't pair, light flashes green five times and stops.

We bought a new Roku Ultra and straight out of the box I can't get the remote to pair. I hold the pair button for those five seconds, the light flashes five quick flashes and then stops. That's all it does. I put it on the charger for ahout 30 min so far but that hasn't changed anything.
