    If you mean the remote from the side of the XPS that uses infrared...then all you have to do is make sure there is a working battery that is not upside down and then make sure it has line of site to the bottom front of the laptop where the IR receiver is...

    It's also a nifty thing to use during power point presentations and the like.
