1. Getting Started

  • What's in the Box (What to Expect)

    When you first get your Roku RC35 remote, you should find:

    • The Roku RC35 remote control itself.
    • (Batteries may or may not be included – this depends on where you purchased it).

  • Installing Batteries

    Your Roku RC35 remote uses two (2) AA batteries. Here's how to install them:

    1. Turn the remote over: Hold the remote with the buttons facing down.
    2. Locate the battery compartment: You'll see a small, rectangular cover on the back of the remote.
    3. Open the battery compartment: There's usually a small indentation or arrow indicating where to press and slide the cover open. It might be a little stiff, but gentle pressure should open it.
    4. Insert the batteries: Look inside the battery compartment. You'll see markings showing the correct way to insert the batteries (+ and - ends). Match the + and - symbols on the batteries to the symbols inside the compartment.
    5. Close the battery compartment: Slide the cover back on until it clicks securely into place.

    Important Battery Tips:

    • Always use fresh, new AA batteries.
    • Do not mix old and new batteries.
    • Make sure the + and - ends of the batteries are inserted correctly.

  • Compatibility

    The Roku RC35 remote is designed to work with specific, older Roku streaming players. It is not a universal remote and will not work with all Roku devices.

    This remote is most likely compatible with:

    • Roku 2 (model 2720x)
    • Roku 3
    • Other older Roku devices from the 2013 era.

    Important: This remote does not have voice control. It will not work with Roku players that require a voice remote.

  • Pairing Your Remote

    "Pairing" is how your remote connects to your Roku player. You usually only need to do this once, unless the remote loses its connection. Here's how to pair the RC35 remote:

    1. Make sure your Roku player is turned on: Your TV should be showing the Roku home screen, or at least a Roku logo.
    2. Make sure batteries are installed: Double-check that you have fresh batteries in the remote, installed correctly.
    3. Power Cycle Your Roku Player: This is a fancy way of saying "unplug it and plug it back in."
      • Unplug the power cord from your Roku player (the small box connected to your TV).
      • Wait for 30 seconds.
      • Plug the power cord back into the Roku player.
      • Wait for the Roku player to start up completely. You should see the Roku home screen on your TV.
    4. Locate the Pairing Button on the Remote:
      • Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote (as described in the "Installing Batteries" section).
      • Inside the battery compartment, you'll see a small, round button. This is the pairing button.
    5. Press and Hold the Pairing Button:
      • Using your finger, press and hold the pairing button inside the battery compartment.
      • Keep holding the button down for about 3 to 5 seconds.
    6. Look at Your Roku Player: While you're holding the pairing button, look at your Roku player (the small box, not the TV screen). You should see a small light on the Roku player start to flash. This means it's in pairing mode. Note: The RC35 remote itself does not have a pairing light.
    7. Wait for Pairing to Complete: Your Roku player should automatically detect and connect to the remote. This might take a few seconds. You might see a message on your TV screen confirming the pairing is successful.

    If pairing doesn't work the first time, repeat steps 3-7.

2. Using Your Remote

  • Button Layout and Functions

    Here's a description of each button on your Roku RC35 remote and what it does:

3. Troubleshooting

  • Remote Not Responding

    If your remote stops working, try these steps in order:

    1. Check the Batteries:
      • Open the battery compartment and make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
      • Replace the batteries with a brand new pair of AA batteries. Even if the batteries seem to have power, old or weak batteries can cause problems.
    2. Power Cycle Your Roku Player:
      • Unplug your Roku player from the power outlet.
      • Wait 30 seconds.
      • Plug the Roku player back in and wait for it to fully start up.
    3. Re-Pair the Remote: Follow the pairing instructions in the "Getting Started" section. This is often the solution when a remote suddenly stops working.
    4. Check for Obstructions: Although your remote uses a wireless signal, make sure there's nothing large blocking the space between the remote and your Roku player.

  • Shortcut Buttons Not Working

    If a shortcut button (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu) doesn't work:

    1. Make Sure the App is Installed: You need to have the app (like Netflix) installed on your Roku player for the button to work.
    2. Make Sure You Have a Subscription: You need an active subscription to the service (like Netflix) to use it.
    3. Rdio Button: The Rdio button will almost certainly not work, as Rdio is no longer a service.
