We recommend that you save the settings before you press the Reset button to
restart the switch.
• Reset the switch to factory default settings. All settings are erased and the switch
restarts with factory default settings.
To restart or reset the switch using the Reset button:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.

• Restart the switch. Press the Reset button for 2 seconds. (Do not press the
button for 5 seconds!)
