Assuming it's a voice remote (there should be a microphone button on it), you can put it into pairing button by pressing and holding Home and Back (the two buttons next to each other at the top) until the light on the remote starts flashing. If there's no microphone button, then it will never work with a stick and you somehow got the wrong remote.
