Do you want to unpair your Xumo remote from your TV?
If you own a Xumo Stream Box or a smart TV with Xumo built-in, you may need to unpair the remote for troubleshooting, switching devices, or using a different remote control.
If you don’t know what pairing is, it’s the process that connects your remote to the Xumo device, allowing you to control navigation, volume, and other settings.
Most Xumo remotes connect via Bluetooth or infrared, depending on the model.
In this guide, you will learn whether it’s possible to unpair a Xumo remote from your TV and how to do it.
Can You Unpair a Xumo Remote from Your TV?
The short answer is: Yes, but it depends on the type of remote you have.
Some Xumo remotes use infrared (IR), which does not require pairing.
These remotes work automatically as long as they are pointed at the TV.
You cannot unpair an IR remote, but you can stop using it or replace it with a universal remote.
For Bluetooth remotes, which allow more advanced features like voice control, you can unpair them through the TV’s settings.
How to Unpair a Xumo Bluetooth Remote
To unpair your Xumo remote, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings: Press the Home button on your remote, navigate to Settings, and select Remotes & Devices.
- Select Bluetooth Remotes: Find the list of connected remotes.
- Choose the Remote to Unpair: Select your Xumo remote from the list.
- Unpair the Remote: Look for an option to Remove or Unpair the remote and confirm your selection.
Once unpaired, the remote will no longer control your Xumo device.
You will need to pair it again if you want to use it in the future.
What If the Unpair Option is Not Available?
If you do not see an option to unpair the remote, try the following alternatives:
- Factory Reset the Xumo Box – This will erase all settings, including remote connections.
- Remove Batteries – If you want to temporarily disable the remote, remove the batteries.
- Pair a New Remote – Connecting a new Bluetooth remote may override the existing one.
Conclusion
Unpairing a Xumo remote is possible for Bluetooth models through the settings menu.
If you are using an infrared remote, unpairing is not necessary since it does not store a connection.
