Fios TV Voice Remote: Getting Started and Beyond

Getting started with your Fios TV Voice Remote is a breeze. Simply plug it in, turn on your TV, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

The remote comes with a rechargeable battery that can last up to 2 years on a single charge, and it's powered by a USB port for easy recharging.

To start using your Fios TV Voice Remote, you'll need to download and install the Fios TV app on your smartphone or tablet. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.

With the Fios TV app, you can control your TV, search for shows, and even order pay-per-view events using just your voice.

To get started with your Fios TV Voice Remote, simply pull out the plastic tab located on the bottom and you're ready to go.

Your Fios TV Voice Remote comes with two AA Alkaline batteries already installed, so you don't need to worry about buying batteries separately.

The Fios TV One will always let you know when your batteries are low and need replacement, so you can easily keep track of when it's time to replace them.

To control your Fios TV One, your Fios TV Voice Remote should pair with it automatically.

Only one Fios TV Voice Remote can be paired with any single Fios TV One at a time. This means you'll need to unpair any existing remote before pairing a new one.

If you're using a new remote, it may try to pair with the STB automatically when you remove the plastic battery contact isolation tab. If this doesn't work, you can pair it manually by following the steps above.

To automatically set up TV and audio control, go to the "Menu" and select "Settings" > "Voice Control" > "Fios TV Voice Remote" > "Program Fios TV Voice Remote" > "Auto Setup".

If the automatic setup doesn't work, you can try the "Manual Setup" procedure.
