Resetting the unit
If “TROUBLESHOOTING” does not eliminate
malfunctioning (failure to operate or display properly,
etc.), press and hold the RESET button on the rear of the
unit for 2 to 3 seconds with something having a sharp
point, while the AC power cord is plugged off and the
batteries are removed from the unit if inserted.

Resetting causes the unit to restore its factory default
settings and results in all the settings made by the user
being deleted.
