Resetting using the rear panel Reset button
The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of matrix switcher resets. This
button is recessed; it can be accessed with a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or an Extron
Tweeker (a small screwdriver provided with the unit). While the switcher is running or while
you are applying power to it, press and hold in the button for the number of seconds
required for the desired reset level.
The table below provides a summary of the rear panel reset modes.
