Why Reset or Refresh Your UBOX?

Resetting your UBOX to factory settings can resolve a range of issues, from sluggish performance to connectivity problems. Refreshing the firmware ensures that your device is running the latest software, which can improve stability and add new features.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Power Off Your Device

Start by unplugging the power cable from your UBOX. This ensures the device is completely powered down.

2. Reinsert the Power Cable

Plug the power cable back into your UBOX. As soon as the power light turns on, you'll need to act quickly.

3. Use the Remote to Trigger Factory Reset

Immediately after the power light turns on, press the “Settings” button on your remote control 5 to 20 times in quick succession. This action will force the device into an automatic firmware update mode, restoring it to its original factory settings.
