Check the Remote's LED

Alright, so you've checked the icon, and it's not looking great. Let's check the remote's LED light. This is the tiny light at the top of your remote. Here's what the colors mean:

• Green: You're good to go! The remote's charged.
• Amber: Uh-oh, it's time to charge. Soon, it'll be red.
• Red: Emergency! Your remote's about to die. Charge it, like, now.

If it's red, don't panic. Just plug in the Lightning cable that came with your remote and connect it to the power adapter. Let it charge for a bit, and you'll be back in business.
