How do I reset my Freesat remote control? (4K UHD)
Before following this guide: Check the exact handset before programming TV control or remote modes. A compatible third-party replacement may not offer the genuine handset’s TV-control or remote-mode functions.
To reset your remote control to it's default set-up, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) and AD buttons on your Freesat remote control for three seconds.
2. Then press and hold the Home button. The LED will blink once.
3. Finally press and hold the red button (this is not the standby or record button) for five seconds. The LED will blink five times to confirm the remote control has removed the existing TV code and reset to default set-up.
This is for the ARRIS UHD-4X Models Only
Genuine and compatible Arris remotes differ
Match the remote to your Arris UHD box. The genuine remote supports TV-control setup; the budget compatible option may operate the box without TV-control functions. Try the relevant setup guide before replacing a working handset.
