Your SHIELD Remote uses (2) CR2032 coin cell batteries to power the remote. To replace the
batteries, follow these instructions.
1. At the bottom of the remote, use a paperclip or the tip of a ballpoint pen to
depress the release button. The battery tray should then slide out.
2. Gently push the batteries from the underside of the battery tray with your fingers
to remove.
3. Replace the batteries with the "+" terminal facing up. The diagram on the battery
tray indicates the correct orientation.
4. Slide the battery tray back into your SHIELD Remote until a soft click is heard.

appear in the Recommedations row (the top row of the SHIELD TV Home screen) when an
upgrade is available. Simply select this notification and your SHIELD TV will automatically
download and apply the update. You can also manually check for updates by going to Settings
> About > System upgrade.
