Need the power cord plugged in for it to work

I just bought a Roku Voice Remote Pro and my tv says it’s charged to a hundred% and the green light is solid but if I unplug it from my power cord it doesn’t work???????

What do you mean it doesn’t work? If it’s fully charged it won’t charge anymore. it does not need to be plugged into a charger in order for you to use it.

How long ago did you buy it? Where did you buy it from? If you purchased it within the last 12 months it’s under warranty from Roku., here is a link to start a warranty claim. So basically your remote only works when it’s plugged in as soon as you unplug it it will no longer work which means it’s not holding a charge.

Where did you buy it from? Walmart? Target? If you just bought it today then go back to the store and exchange it. You did pair it correct? I own 3 Voice Remote Pros. Have had them for a year. Worked right out of the box. If I just bought something and the same day it wasn’t working the first thing I would do is go back to the store I bought it from

Yes it is paired I even looked in settings and the remote under my tv says Roku  voice remote pro and if it wasn’t paired it wouldn’t work on my tv even if it was plugged Into the cord!!!!!

@Spoonshawna  Why don’t you just return it to the store you bought it from?

It’s a remote. You charge it. Pair it and it works. Nothing else to do. So exchange it for another one. There is no “quick fix”.
