Re: Can't pair no back tab to pull out

That pull tab, on remotes that are supplied with replaceable batteries in place, just prevents the batteries from connecting so the batteries stay fresh until the tab is pulled.

If the remote is in pairing mode but you see no acknowledgement of this on the screen try pulling the Roku's power for a few seconds then plugging it back in.

Re: Can't pair no back tab to pull out

Welcome to the Roku Community, @Bigvernon!

We appreciate you reaching out and we'd be happy to help you pair your physical remote successfully.

In addition to what our Streaming Expert provided above, you may also try to Reboot your remote by following these steps:

  1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your remote
  2. Remove both batteries from the battery compartment
  3. Re-insert the negative (-) end of a battery first and then gently push the positive (+) end until the battery clicks into place
  4. Repeat the previous step to install the second battery
  5. Put the battery cover back on your remote

We hope this helps!

Best regards,
Carly
