General
Prior to performing any setup procedures, it is recommended that you perform a factory reset — in order to
reset all input, output and source mappings to their default values.
Particularly for customers in the events and rental marketplace, this procedure guarantees that any previous
input setups and memory registers (e. g., those that may have been programmed by other users) are
completely cleared from system memory.
If you are continuing an event (for example, day two of a three-day event), you do not need to
perform a factory reset. However, if you do elect to perform a factory reset, ensure that you have
backed up your system. for details, please refer to the procedure "Backing up the system", page
