  • How do I use the Samsung SolarCell Remote?

    The Samsung SolarCell Remote is a remote for Samsung TVs that's powered by light. It features a built-in solar panel that can be charged by sunlight or indoor light, eliminating the need for disposable batteries.


    To pair your SolarCell Remote with your Samsung TV, simply turn on your TV and press any button on the remote. The two should automatically connect.

    If pairing doesn’t happen or the connection is lost, follow the simple steps below.
