Rear Panel Operations

The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of resets (identified as modes
1, 3, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with an Extron IPL product). The Reset button is
recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access it.
For different reset levels, press and hold the button while the switcher is running or press
and hold the button while you apply power to the switcher.
See the

table

on the next page for a summary of the modes.
