What to Do if You Don’t See an Activation Code

If you are stuck in the setup process and don’t see a code, here are the most common solutions:

• Check Your Internet Connection: The TV must be successfully connected to the internet to generate a code. Navigate back to the network settings and ensure the connection is active.
• Restart the TV: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve the issue. Turn the TV off, unplug it from the power outlet for 60 seconds, plug it back in, and turn it on again.
• Perform a Factory Reset: If you skipped the setup process or it failed, a factory reset is the best way to start over from the beginning.
  • Press the Menu button on your VIZIO remote.
  • Navigate to System (or Admin & Privacy).
  • Select Reset & Admin.
  • Choose Reset TV to Factory Settings.
  • The TV will restart and begin the initial setup process again, which will bring you to the activation code screen.
