My Xsarius RCU-A3 remote control is only displaying Teletext when I press buttons to perform functions like changing channels or accessing the menu. How can I resolve this issue?

If your Xsarius RCU-A3 remote is stuck in Teletext mode or triggering Teletext functions unexpectedly, it is likely that the remote or the connected Xsarius device (such as a Pure 2 or Avant 2) has entered a specific display mode or has a stuck button. Please try the following steps to resolve the issue:Exit Teletext Mode: Look for the Color Buttons (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue) or a button labeled TXT or Exit. Pressing the Back Button (arrow icon) or the Home Button (house icon) may also force the device out of the Teletext overlay.Perform a Reset: Based on user feedback for this specific model, the remote may require a reset to function correctly. Remove the batteries for 60 seconds, then reinsert them. If the issue persists, you may need to re-pair or re-program the remote if you are using the TV Control section.Check for Stuck Buttons: Ensure that none of the numeric keys or color buttons are physically stuck in a pressed position, as this can cause the device to stay in Teletext mode.Power Cycle the Device: Unplug your Xsarius box (Pure 2, Avant 2, etc.) from the power source for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This often clears software glitches where the interface remains stuck on a specific function like Teletext.Check IR Line of Sight: Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on your Xsarius device, as partial signals can sometimes cause erratic behavior.If these steps do not work, you may need to consult the specific settings menu of your Xsarius Android box to disable "Auto-Teletext" features if they are enabled in the subtitle or display settings.
