Tips for Pairing the Remote

  • The four digit code on the back of your remote is your remote’s unique Hudl ID.
  • When you see a blinking red light after any button is pressed, the remote is ready to be paired.
  • If there is not a blinking red light on the remote, the remote is already paired with another device. Find this device and disconnect before connecting to a new device.
  • A yellow light blinking in the top right corner of the remote indicates a low battery. The faster the yellow light blinks, the lower the battery.
  • Your computer will call the Hudl Bluetooth Remote a Bluetooth Keyboard.
  • If you cannot get your remote to pair with your computer or if the remote doesn't show up as an option to pair, hold the Tag and Full buttons for three seconds to manually unpair the remote.
