Just like you would use a mouse with a computer, you can use the Magic Remote Control as a pointer to point and select content on your LG Smart TV.

 

Warnings:

  • Make sure that there is no obstacle between your TV and your Magic Remote and it is used within a distance of 10 metres.
  • Be aware of your surroundings so that you don’t hit objects or people when you are using the Magic Remote.
  • Do not use the Magic Remote near WLAN devices or microwaves as it may not function properly when used in proximity to devices on the same frequency band (2.4 GHz).
