LED Color What this means
Blue • When pairing is complete, the blue LED will flash 3 times.
• The blue LED will blink with each button press.
Red • In ‘pairing’ mode, the red LED will light continuously for 60 seconds.
• The red LED will blink when the battery is low.
• The red LED will blink with each button press if the Bluetooth-enabled remote is not
paired with the TV.
'Sleep' mode • The remote control will automatically go into ‘Sleep‘ mode 30 seconds after the last

MMerlin™ (the smaller Bluetooth remote)
The Standard Infrared (IR) Remote
The standard infrared remote uses an infrared light as the main technology to communicate with the TV. The signal
between the remote and the TV requires a line of sight at all times. Therefore, if you prefer to use this remote, make
sure not to block the TV with any objects or sit too far away from it.
