A common troubleshooting step is to reset your TV to factory settings, but how do you do that on a Hisense TV? You can reset your TV with or without a remote across all models, including a Hisense Roku or Google TV. You'll also want to reset your TV to factory settings if you sell it or give it away.
Quickly Reset Your Hisense TV
You can easily reset a Hisense TV by holding down the "Exit" button on your remote for 20 seconds and selecting OK . To use the physical "Reset" button on the TV, press and hold it for about 15 seconds.
Steps
Section 1 of 7:
-
Press and hold the "Exit" button for 15 seconds. If you don't see an "Exit" button, use another method with your specified TV. This method will work with any Hisense TV that comes with a remote that has an "Exit" button.
- A menu will pop up, and you can release the "Exit" button.
- Select OK when you see the Factory Service menu pop up. [1] X Research source

Turn off your TV for at least 20 seconds. When you turn it back on, you'll notice that the TV has reverted to factory settings. That means you'll need to re-download any apps or re-configure custom settings.
