Resetting the device to factory defaults
Note
Damage to the button
The RESET button is a short
-stroke button with only a slight pressure point. To operate the
, you only need a force 2.5 N (approx. 250 g).
To avoid damaging the button press it with little force. Hold the tool you are using, for
example, with only two fingers.
Note
If you reset, all the changes you have made will be overwritten by factory defaults.
To reset the device to the factory defaults, follow the steps below:
1. Press the "RESET" button with only slight force.
A screwdriver for example with following size is suitable:
– Blade thickness 0.8 - 1.8 mm
– Blade width 4.0 - 4.8 mm
2. Hold down the button for approximately 12 seconds.
After 9 seconds, the fault LED "F" flashes for 3 seconds.
– If you release the button after approximately 12 seconds, the device is restarted and
the factory settings are restored.
– If you release the button before the 12 seconds have elapsed, the reset is canceled.
