Power up
First, power your Roku remote by
inserting the included batteries:
• Locate and open the rectangular
battery door on the rear of the unit.
• Insert the batteries into their slots, making sure to match
the positive (+) and negative (-) signs.
• Place the battery door back over the compartment
and press it gently down until the latch snaps securely
into place.
• If the LED on the front of the remote is blinking, it means it
is trying to pair to the Roku Streaming Stick. The remote is
ready for use when the LED stops blinking and turns o.
What to do

Complete guided setup
It’s the final stretch and hooray—it’s a breeze! Continue
following the on-screen instructions and you’ll:
• Get the latest software.
• Link the Roku Streaming Stick to your Roku account on
your computer.
Your Roku account: During setup, you’ll be prompted to create
your Roku account online at roku.com/link. Your Roku
Streaming Stick will generate a unique code that
links your player to your new account. Roku accounts
are free and secure. And while a valid credit card number is
required to create your account, rest assured you will only be
charged if you authorize purchases of apps and games from
the Roku Channel Store.
Connect to network
Now you can grab that Roku remote and jump right into
guided setup. When prompted, select “Wireless” as your
network connection and have your network name and
password ready to do the following:
• Select your network from the list of available networks.
• Enter your network password, if you use one. Remember,
network passwords are case sensitive.

Know your Roku remote
Cool: Because your enhanced remote uses radio
frequency instead of infrared, you don’t need to have a
direct line of sight to your Roku!

Get your game on!
Just a couple of fun-facts about your Roku enhanced remote.
• It’s sensitive and smart. The Roku remote incorporates
motion-sensing technology, allowing more precise and
detailed control of gameplay.
• It comes with an adjustable wrist strap—for good reason.
Since some games make you sweat, sporting the wrist
strap is a very good idea. You don’t want to crack the
screen of your beautiful TV—or harm anyone or anything
around you.
Buckle up: Open the lever
on the strap lock and place your
hand through the wrist strap. Hold the
remote firmly in your hand. Slide the strap lock up so that
the strap will not fall o your wrist. Do not over-tighten the
strap lock so that it’s uncomfortable.

Troubleshooting
Having trouble completing setup? Don’t worry: it’s usually
an easy fix.
If you cannot see a picture on your TV:
• Make sure your TV is turned on. (This tip could save you
some embarrassment.)
• Make sure the video input on your TV or home theater
receiver is set to match the output (usually HDMI or
MHL) used with the Roku Streaming Stick. Most TVs
have an Input button on the remote control to change
video inputs.
If you cannot connect to your wireless home
network during guided setup:
• If you are not getting 3 or more signal-strength bars
above your wireless network, adjust the location of your
Roku Streaming Stick and/or wireless router. Make sure
there are no obstructions, like cement walls, between your
Roku Streaming Stick and your wireless router.
• Make sure you select the correct wireless router name on
the “Wireless” screen.
• Make sure you enter the correct password, if your network
is security-enabled (password is case sensitive).
• If you have turned o SSID broadcasting on your wireless
router, you can add your network by selecting “My
network is not shown” from the “Wireless” screen.
It’s unlikely but if your remote becomes warm or hot
to the touch after inserting the batteries, immediately
discontinue use. Do not attempt to remove the batteries while
the unit is hot. Contact Roku Customer Support immediately
at 888-600-7658
If you cannot hear sound:
• Make sure the connectors on the cables between your TV
and home theater receiver are pushed in all the way.
• Make sure the volume on your TV or home theater
receiver is turned up and isn’t on mute.
• Make sure the input on your TV or home theater receiver
matches the output (HDMI or MHL) used with your Roku
Streaming Stick.
If the Roku remote control is not functioning:
• Try moving closer to your Roku Streaming Stick.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh (or new) and inserted
properly.
• Make sure your remote is paired (see next section) with
the Roku Streaming Stick.
• If the Status Light on the front of your Roku Streaming
Stick flashes once each time you press a remote button,
the problem is not with the remote.
