When the DG8 is shipped from the factory, its user parameters are set to certain
values so that the unit will perform its most basic functions right out of the box.
These are called defaults – values that are set at the factory as the most useful and/or
logical starting points for the various functions within the unit. You may have
noticed this as you explored the DG8's functions, and this manual refers to these
default values from time to time.
If for any reason you want to return the DG8 to the state it was in when it shipped,
you can initialize (perform a complete reset) of the DG8 and return it to its default
state. This feature is particularly useful in the event a power problem causes the DG8
to behave strangely, or if certain functions do not seem to be operating as expected.
