DIGI MANDO-LED-PARPADEA on TV decoder: Bluetooth pairing
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Low
Quick answer
On the remote control for DIGI TV's ZTE R2A and R1A decoders, the LED starts blinking when you hold OK and Volume - for more than 3 seconds to show it has entered Bluetooth pairing mode. Once paired, the LED stops blinking; if pairing fails, repeat steps 1 and 2.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not confuse Bluetooth pairing (holding OK and Volume - for 3 seconds) with the red light blinking in TV learning mode, which is triggered by holding the SET button on the R2A remote.
- Do not open the remote beyond the two-AAA-battery compartment, and never open the set-top box casing.
Safe checks you can perform
- Confirm that the set-top box is switched on with a green LED
- Hold OK and Volume - for over 3 seconds and wait for the LED to stop blinking
- Test the remote in infrared mode by pointing straight at the STB

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Confirm that the set-top box is switched on with a green LED
- Who:
- you, in front of the TV and the set-top box.
- How:
- check that your ZTE R2A or R1A decoder is connected to the TV over HDMI, plugged into power, and showing a green power indicator with the setup or home screen visible on the TV.
- Result that matters:
- making sure the set-top box is awake and ready to pair with the remote.
- If the decoder LED is green and the picture is on screen:
- proceed with pairing the remote.
- If the decoder LED is red or unlit:
- switch the set-top box on first using its panel power button.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the TV screen and the green power indicator on the decoder.

Hold OK and Volume - for over 3 seconds and wait for the LED to stop blinking
- Who:
- you, with the DIGI TV remote control.
- How:
- with the two AAA batteries fitted, press and hold the centre OK button and the Volume - button at the same time for more than 3 seconds until the remote LED starts blinking, then wait for pairing to finish.
- Result that matters:
- the remote LED stopping its blink once Bluetooth pairing succeeds.
- If the remote LED stops blinking:
- Bluetooth mode is active, infrared turns off automatically, and you no longer need to point at the box.
- If pairing fails:
- repeat steps 1 and 2 as instructed in DIGI's official remote guide.
- Evidence to keep:
- short video of the indicator light (LED) on the remote during the pairing step.

Test the remote in infrared mode by pointing straight at the STB
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- if Bluetooth is not paired yet, point the remote directly at the receiver on the set-top box and press the navigation or channel buttons to see whether the box responds over infrared.
- Result that matters:
- verifying that the remote and its two AAA batteries are transmitting commands properly.
- If it works when aimed straight at the box:
- the remote hardware works and only Bluetooth pairing remains.
- If it does not respond even over infrared with fresh AAA batteries:
- reach out to DIGI's official customer support for DIGI TV.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of whether the set-top box responds when the remote is pointed directly at its front receiver.

What it means
In DIGI Spain's official user manuals and quick guides (in Spanish) for the ZTE R2A and ZTE R1A set-top boxes and its official remote control guide, the indicator light (LED) on the remote begins to blink when you press and hold the OK (centre) and Volume - buttons together for more than 3 seconds to enter Bluetooth pairing mode. When pairing succeeds, the LED stops blinking, the factory infrared mode turns off automatically, and you can use the remote without pointing it at the box. Other remote models or firmware versions may differ, and a blinking remote LED alone never proves a part is faulty.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Loweditorial warning
