Have you been struggling with your Dstv Explora remote A7? If you are unable to navigate through channels or access different features of the gadget, the problem might be with the settings. Resetting the remote can help restore the original settings and improve the functionality of the buttons. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to reset Dstv Explora remote A7.
Step 1: Remove the Batteries from the Remote
To avoid damaging the remote, ensure that you remove the batteries before starting the reset process. Confirm that the remote is off before access to the battery compartment. Removing the batteries ensures that the remote is safe to handle, and there is no electric discharge that can interfere with the reset process.
After removing the batteries, press and hold the 'i' and 'Back' button on the remote at the same time. Hold the two buttons until the green light on the remote comes on. The green light will flicker continuously, which shows that the reset process has started.
Step 3: Wait for the Red Light to Flash Three Times
The reset process takes a few seconds to complete. Keep holding the two buttons and wait for the red light on the remote to flash three times. The flashing of the red light indicates that the reset process has been successful.
After the red light has flashed three times, release the 'i' and 'Back' buttons on the remote. Take the batteries that you had removed in step one and re-insert them correctly into the battery compartment. Ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly to avoid interfering with the reset process.
Step 5: Test the Functionality of the Remote
After re-inserting the batteries, the remote should be back to its original factory settings. Test the buttons to check if they are working correctly. If the buttons are still unresponsive, you might need to repeat the reset process or contact a Dstv technician for assistance.
Conclusion
If you experience any problems with your Dstv Explora remote A7, resetting it can help fix the problem. The process is straightforward and can be done by following the steps outlined in this guide. Always remember to remove the batteries before starting the reset process and re-insert them correctly after resetting the remote.
