# Pairing a Device in Skykit Control

To get started with Skykit Control, you need to pair your device if it has not been preregistered.

## Pairing a Device

When you are setting up a new device in Skykit Control, you first need to pair it with Skykit.

1. In Control, select **Devices** from the navigation bar to open the **Devices** window.
2. Select **Pair Device**.

The **Pair Device** window opens.

3. In the **Name of Device** field, enter the name of the device you want to pair. This is the name that will appear in the **Devices** window in Skykit Control and on the **Displays** menu in Skykit Beam (if you have access to Beam).
4. In the **Location** field, enter the device's physical location if desired. This is an optional field.
5. In the **Pairing Code** field, enter the pairing code you see when you first turn on your player.
6. Select **Pair Device** to finish and return to the **Devices** window. The newly paired device is now listed in the window.

If Skykit has paired your devices in advance, you can skip this process.

After the device is paired, you can [install apps](/v1/docs/uploading-and-installing-apps), [configure settings](/v1/docs/configuring-device-settings), and [send bulk commands](/v1/docs/sending-bulk-commands) remotely.
