Approach slowly, and keep watching the screen. To get ultimately close, lay the remote on top of the Apple TV box, if needed.

Keep other bluetooth devices off, or at a distance (including smart phones), so that they won’t interfere with the pairing process.

Verify that the remote has enough battery charge to be able to send a strong bluetooth signal.
