Will this remote work with my TCL TV?

It is made for TCL Google TVs with built-in Chromecast that use the RC813 remote. Older TCL Roku or Android TV models are not supported.

Does it need to be paired?

Yes. Because it connects over RF rather than infrared, it has to be paired to the TV before it works, usually through the TV's remote setup screen.

No. The remote can ship with a different set of shortcuts than the ones listed, so do not count on a specific app button being present.

Yes. It has a microphone and voice button for Google TV voice search and commands.

Yes, it runs on standard batteries, which are not included.

It is a direct replacement with the same features, not an upgrade. Buy it to replace a lost or worn remote, not to add new functions.
