Before you dive into using The Freestyle's remote, make sure it’s been set up and paired. If you’re having trouble connecting the remote, you can try pressing and holding the Return and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Then, the remote should be paired.

If you think the remote's battery may be running low, you can always check it to make sure. Press and hold the Home button on the remote, then select All Settings, and then select General & Privacy. Select Power and Energy Saving, and then select Available Remote Battery. The battery percentage will be displayed. If needed, the remote can be charged using the USB-C port at the bottom.
