The switcher reverts to the factory default
firmware. Event scripting will not start if the
switcher is powered on in this mode. All user files
and settings (drivers, adjustments, IP settings, etc)
are maintained.
N If you do not want to update firmware, or
you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake,
cycle power to the switcher to return to the
firmware version that was running before the
mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to
confirm that the factory default firmware is
no longer running (look for the asterisk [*]
following the version number.
