Hold the home button for 10 sec and then release, it will detect and pair the remote to the fire TV stick

which remote did you buy for the fire stick

 

[Ipguy]

take a iPhone or android phone download the Amazon TV app make sure the Amazon
Fire stick and your phone are on the same network put your phone on wifi go to setting
Controllers and Bluetooth devices pick Amazon fire stick remote,add new remote if that
Don't work your remote is defective.

oh was thing its for fire stick and its for your fire tv box

He have an Amazon TV box asft....but it doesn't matter they both work with the same remote.
I tried it before and he can use the fire stick remote to control the Amazon TV box.
