1. Getting Started

  • What's in the Box?

    • Your Samsung BN59-01363A Remote Control
    • This User Manual (You may not have a physical manual, the manual may have come pre-installed on the TV.)

  • Installing Batteries

    1. Look on the back of your remote. You should see an arrow or a small indentation.
    2. Gently slide or lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow (or using the indentation).
    3. Insert two AA or AAA batteries. Important: Make sure the "+" and "-" ends of the batteries match the markings inside the compartment.
    4. Slide the battery cover back on until it clicks into place.

  • Pairing Your Remote with Your TV

    Why is pairing important? Your remote uses a special connection "Bluetooth" for many of its features. Pairing connects the remote to your TV wirelessly.

    1. Turn on your Samsung TV.
    2. Point the remote at the TV.
    3. Press and hold both the Return/Back and Play/Pause buttons at the same time. (See the Button Guide in Section 2 for pictures of these buttons). Hold them down for at least 3 seconds, or until you see a message on your TV screen about pairing.
    4. Your TV will show a message when the remote is successfully paired. You're now ready to use your remote! If this does not work, try holding the remote very close to the Samsung logo at the bottom of the TV.
