The remote uses IR not Bluetooth.
The Apple Remote is a remote control introduced in October 2005 by Apple Inc. For use with a number of its products with infrared capability. It was originally designed to control the Front Row media center program on the iMac G5 and is compatible with many subsequent Macintosh computers. The first three generations of Apple TV used the Apple Remote as their primary control mechanism. The Apple TV brings with it a revamped, Siri-powered remote control to make it easier for you to jump between menus, navigate through content and beat your high score on Crossy Road.With a simple. Honestly, we have the first HD 1080 Apple TV and we don't really use it much. Actually thought it was broken, its been sitting for years, and I finally looked at it and discovered it was the remote. This remote was super cheap on sale, I didn't expect much. It was OME Apple merchandise, sealed in original packaging. Point at Apple TV and it works.
Older Macs used to come with an Apple remote for various uses but these days it's an optional extra.
Pairing is not intuitive - the remote just sends a signal with some kind of code to identify that particular remote.
When you pair a remote it makes AppleTV or Mac only respond to commands from the remote with a certain code.
By default AppleTVs and Macs are not apired so work with any remote - even if that remote is paired with another device as the rewmote has no role in pairing apart from providing a code to identify it specifically.
