how to charge and pair a Samsung rechargeable tv remote
try charging an intact rechargeable handset before replacing it. after charging, use the screen's pairing instructions and check the controls you actually need.
the linked BN59-01432D / TM2360E-style offers are distinct: the aftermarket pack includes a USB-C cable, while the genuine handset does not include a cable or charger.

scope: compatibility and essential voice/app functions depend on the exact tv or smart monitor, region and setup. a working infrared power button alone does not confirm bluetooth pairing. never open the built-in battery.
steps
- charge the remote
if the old handset is intact, try charging before deciding it has failed. use its supported charging connection and a suitable power source. don't open the built-in battery; let it charge enough for pairing.
- pair with the television
with the supported screen on, point the remote towards it. Samsung's australian guidance uses return and play/pause together for at least three seconds, followed by an onscreen pairing confirmation. use the exact device instructions if its sequence differs.
- check the buttons
try navigation, volume and the other functions your television supports. get model-specific help if charging and pairing don't restore them; the television or a different remote requirement may need checking.
