If during the first-time installation process the remote was not paired or skipped, then follow the process below to pair your remote with the television:
  1. Turn the set on.
  2. Go to Settings > Remotes and Accessories or press the Google Assist icon button on the remote control.
  3. Now press and hold the [LEFT ARROW] and [HOME] buttons on the remote control at the same time.
  4. The LED indicator on the remote control will start to flash.
  5. Select your remote control from the list shown on the television screen and press [OK] on the remote control.
  6. Once paired, the pairing screen will disappear.

Note: This process will only have to be completed if the remote control has not been paired. Once paired, when the Google button is pressed, it will open the Google Assistant screen on the television and activate voice functionality. When your remote control is paired, it uses Bluetooth to transmit information. This means that the remote does not need to be pointed towards the set to work.
