Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Remote Not Responding: Check the batteries and ensure the remote is paired correctly. Try re-pairing with the AlticeOne box or Stream device.
• Codes Not Working: Try different codes from the list or use the auto-search method. Ensure you’re entering the code correctly.
• Pairing Issues: Make sure devices are in line of sight and follow pairing steps carefully. Restart your cable box if needed.
• Voice Control Not Working: Ensure the remote is paired with the AlticeOne box via Bluetooth. If unpaired, it reverts to IR mode and won’t support voice commands.

Additional Tips and Features

• Voice Control: If your remote supports it, use voice commands like “Watch Netflix” for easier navigation.
• Favorite Channels: Set up favorite channels through your cable box settings for quick access.
• Updating Firmware: Check Optimum’s support page for any firmware updates for your remote.
• Resetting the Remote: To reset, press and hold the “Home” and “O” buttons until the light blinks. This switches the remote to IR mode, allowing you to re-pair it.
