Set up SHIELD and pair remote
Here’s how to plug in your SHIELD and set up your remote.
1. Connect your SHIELD to your TV with the HDMI cable
• Make sure your TV or monitor is turned off.
2. Connect your SHIELD to power, using the power cord
• Plug one end of the power cable into the back of your SHIELD, and the other into a power outlet.
• Touch the SHIELD power button (NVIDIA logo) on the top of your SHIELD. You’ll see the light on your
SHIELD console turn on.
• Keep in mind, once you start using your SHIELD, it won’t need to be turned off. When you’re not using it, it
will automatically go into sleep mode.
3. Turn on your SHIELD controller
• Tap the NVIDIA button on the controller
4. Turn on your TV and press the source or input button until you see the Welcome
screen
• If the controller is on (NVIDIA button will be flashing) the controller will pair with SHIELD.
• The Welcome screen will appear when you’ve selected the correct HDMI port and successfully paired your
controller.
• If you have trouble finding the correct input, check if the HDMI ports on your TV or monitor are labeled.
• If the controller does not pair, hold the NVIDIA button until the button starts flashing and then let go.
Your device and controller setup is complete. Next, you’ll follow the on-screen setup.
