Pairing your Controller with the LeapTV
Q: I've followed the steps to pair the contoller to my console but it is not working.
Please try the following:
- Power off the LeapTV console.
- Remove the two AA batteries from the controller for 30 seconds, then reinstall the batteries.
- Power on the LeapTV console and wait until it the Home Screen appears.
- Attempt to pair the controller again:
- On the controller, press the Home & Hint buttons together for 3 seconds until the light at the bottom turns blue.
- Next, press the Sync button on the console.
- After you press the Sync button on the console, the light on the bottom of the controller will turn magenta in color after a few seconds.
- After another few seconds, you will be paired and the screen on the LeapTV will auto advance.
If pairing still fails:
- Check the batteries in the controller are new or fully charged.
- Check the batteries are inserted in the controller in the correct direction.
- Verify you have pressed the correct two buttons (Home & Hint) on the controller simultaneously.
- Verify you did not press the Sync button on the console more than one time during the sync process.
Q: I purchased a second controller for LeapTV, how do I set it up and pair it with my LeapTV console?
To pair a second controller:
- Insert two new AA batteries into the controller.
- Power on the LeapTV console and wait until it the Home Screen appears.
- On the controller, press the Home & Hint buttons together for 3 seconds until the light at the bottom turns blue.
- Next, press the Sync button on the console.
- After you press the Sync button on the console, the light on the bottom of the controller will turn magenta in color after a few seconds.
- After another few seconds, the LED light next to the Home button on the controller will glow a solid green. The controller is now paired and will work when you launch a two-player game.
If you encounter any difficulty with the above steps:
- Power the console off.
