Reset switch to factory defaults
If Im not using brand new switch I normally like to reset it back to factory defaults
before doing anything!
"se a #ointy ob$ect %like #a#er cli#& and #ress '(eset) and 'Clear) buttons on the front of
the switch at the same time!
(elease '(eset) button! *hen '+elf Test) ,-. start to blink release 'Clear) button too!
Now the switch should do it test routines! /fter that it should be back on factory defaults!
