Check the Batteries in the Remote
One of the most common reasons for a remote issue may be drained or improperly installed batteries. So, the first thing you should do is change the batteries. Before changing the batteries, clean the contact points within the battery compartment, as dirt or debris might affect its functionality. Take a dry, soft cloth and gently clean the compartment.
Then, replace the old batteries with fresh, high-quality ones even though the old batteries seem fine. While replacing batteries, make sure that you have checked the positive and negative polarities.
Clear the Obstructions and Signal Interference
If the TV is not responding to your Bauhn TV commands, then there might be any obstructions between your TV and the remote. This obstruction blocks the remote’s infrared signals from reaching your TV. To avoid this, you must remove the objects that block your remote signals from reaching your TV. Ensure the line of sight between your Bauhn TV and remote is clear. Then, use the remote to control your TV within a 10 feet range.
If your TV still does not respond even after removing the obstructions, you must check whether any other device is interfering with the signals. Ensure that no devices like baby monitors, microwave ovens, or LED lights are present near your TV. If your Bauhn TV remote is not working even after clearing the obstructions and signal interference, you can move to the next step.
Clean the Dirt and Debris on the Remote
If the remote buttons are not working properly, you need to check whether they are clogged with dirt or dust. This may happen if you have not cleaned your remote for a very long time. So, take a small piece of cloth and clean the buttons and their gaps using a cleaning solution like isopropyl alcohol. If you don’t have a cleaning solution, you can use a wet microfiber cotton cloth. Once you have cleaned the remote, make sure to press all the buttons to release them if they are jammed inside.
Re-Pair the Bauhn TV Remote
If all the buttons on your remote are not working except the Power and Volume buttons, which means that your remote is unpaired from your TV. This may happen if you have not used the remote for a long time. Thus, by repairing the remote back with your TV, you can use your remote again to control your TV. The steps to pair the Bauhn TV remote with the TV will differ according to its operating system.
- Bauhn WebOS Remote: Press the Smart/Home button for 5 seconds → The remote LED will blink 3 times → Tap the OK button for 5 seconds.
- Bauhn Google TV Remote: Press and hold the Home and OK buttons on your Bauhn remote for a few seconds, and it will pair with your Bauhn TV.
- Bauhn Tizen TV Remote: Point your remote towards the TV → Press the Back and Pause/Play button for a few seconds.
Once you pair the remote with your TV, try operating it. If your Bauhn TV remote is malfunctioning, go to the next fix.
Reset the Bauhn TV Remote
If the remote does not pair properly or disconnects from your TV frequently, it might be due to a software glitch. You can fix this pairing issue by resetting your Bauhn TV remote. By doing this, your remote will be cleared of all the errors and software glitches, including all the saved settings. Since there are many OS versions for Bauhn TV, the steps to reset its remote will vary for each model.

Check the TV Remote’s IR Blaster
If the Bauhn TV remote is not working even after trying all the fixes, then there might be physical damage to the remote. Inspect all sides of the remote carefully, including the IR emitter, for any damages. If there is no damage to the remote, you need to check whether the IR emitter is working properly. Before that, clean the IR emitter using a soft cloth to remove the dust particles on it, if there are any.
Once you clean the IR emitter, take your smartphone and open the camera app. Then, point your remote in front of the camera lens and press any button on your remote. If the light from the remote is visible through the camera, it indicates that your remote is working perfectly. If not, you need to take your remote to the nearby service center to repair it.
