Essential tips for using the WiiM Remote

Before using it with your WiiM streamers, please follow the following step-by-step guide to pair it with your target device so you can use your remote instead of your App to control your device.

Step 1: Insert two "AAA" batteries into the WiiM voice remote before use

* WiiM voice remote package doesn't include two "AAA" batteries. 

• Remove the back cover of the WiiM voice remote.
• Insert two "AAA" batteries.
• Put the remote into the pairing mode by pressing and holding the "Source" and "Mute" buttons for two or more seconds simultaneously.

Note: The remote doesn't have an LED indicator. The opening above the MIC button serves as a microphone port, not as an LED feature.

Step 2: Pair it with the target WiiM Mini or Pro via WiiM Home App

• Navigate to the WiiM Home App.
• Select the Device tab > Tap the device setting gear icon > Scroll down and select the 'Remote' to tap.  
• If the remote is in pairing mode, you can see the following card. If the App can't find the remote, please take out the battery and put it back in to reset the remote.
• Follow the instructions on the App to finish the pairing.
