My new Siri/Apple TV remote won’t pair with my 4K Apple TV. (Not the newest one).
I get a prompt to hold it near the Apple TV, but when I do, nothing happens.
I’m trying to charge it, but I see no indicator light. How can I be sure it has a charge?
I tried the Apple solution of unplugging and replugging the Apple TV, but it didn’t help.
How do I check battery level, firmware version and serial number on my new Siri remote?
1. Press the Back button (“<“) until you return to the Home screen on your Apple TV.
2. Open the Settings app (the app with gears)
3. Go to Remotes and Devices > Remote.
4. You will see the current firmware version, serial number and battery level of your new Siri remote.

Turned out that I needed to update the Apple TV system software before the néw remote would pair.
It’s a brand new, unpaired remote.
I can’t get it to pair, which is why I’m trying to make sure it’s charged.
This should help you pair the new remote.
