Before you start

  • Turn the TV on. A TV in standby often cannot be found.
  • Connect your phone and the TV to the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network, not a VPN).

Step 1: turn on phone control on the TV

  1. Connect the TV to the same Wi-Fi as your phone.
  2. Check that mobile connections are switched on. On many webOS versions look under Settings > All Settings > Connection and turn on LG Connect Apps.Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.
  3. To wake the TV from your phone later, look for Mobile Connection Management or a Turn on via Wi-Fi option and enable it.Menu names may differ by TV model and software version.

Step 2: pair Zorvo with the TV

  1. Open Zorvo and pick your LG TV.
  2. Look at the TV screen. A prompt asks you to allow the connection. On LG the button may be called Accept.
  3. Press Accept with the Magic Remote or the TV's button.
  4. Zorvo saves the pairing. Tap Volume up to test.
