This is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) remote for the Xiaomi Fire TV model L55MB-FPIN, not an IR remote, so it must be paired with the TV before it works.
Compatible Models:
L55MB-FPIN
What's in the box: one Woniry replacement remote. Batteries not included (needs two AAA cells).
How to pair this remote with your Xiaomi Fire TV:
1. Switch on the TV using the original remote or the power button on the set, and stay on the home screen.
2. Insert two AAA batteries into the new remote (not included).
3. Hold the Home + Back buttons together for about 5 seconds until the LED on the remote starts blinking.
4. The TV will show 'Pair new remote' or detect the remote within 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Once the LED stops blinking and stays solid, the remote is paired. Test the volume button.
First-time tip: keep the remote within 30 cm of the TV during pairing. After pairing, it works from across the room.
The voice button activates microphone search. Press it and speak your query (movie title, actor name, app name). The compact button layout gives quick access to Netflix, Prime Video, and other apps without menu digging.
If your TV is currently paired to a different remote, the new remote may need the TV to be in pairing mode (TV settings, Remotes and Accessories, Add new remote). Some Android TVs only allow one paired voice remote at a time.

Q: Battery life?
A: About 6 to 8 months on two AAA cells with normal use (an hour or two of TV per day).
