Hi Ram1500

Welcome to the Roku Community!

If your Roku Ultra remote is blinking green and the battery icon is popping up on your TV every few seconds, it may be indicating a low battery level or a connectivity issue between the remote and your Roku Ultra device. Here are a few things you can try:

  • Replace the batteries in your remote with fresh ones. A blinking green light on the remote often indicates low battery power, and replacing the batteries can help fix the issue.
  • Check the connectivity between the remote and the Roku Ultra device. You can try moving closer to the device or resetting the connection by pressing the reset button on the back of the remote.
  • Try restarting your Roku Ultra device. Sometimes restarting the device can help reset any connectivity issues.
  • Reset your Roku Ultra remote. You can reset the remote by pressing and holding the pairing button on the back of the remote for at least 3 seconds. Then release the button and wait for the remote to restart.

We hope it helps!


Warm regards,
Lianna

Roku is trying to add hands free commands like Siri and Alexa. To do this there is a switch on the left side of the remote; when “on” it appears to keep the Roku on and the remote trying to communicate on speech command. I turned this off, the screen message disappeared, the green light quit blinking.  For fun I flipped the switch back on and I still didn’t get either of the latter scenarios. I did not try to speak or press the little link button on the back. Try this, see if it works for you.
