Configuration Switch

There is a momentary action push button switch on the right of
the power connector behind a small hole.  Pressing this switch
places the unit in configuration mode and is used only when
configuring the unit 

via the serial port

, as explained in 

Chapter

3 - Configuration.  

Return from configuration mode by exiting

the configuration menu or by power cycling the unit

. 

This

switch may be depressed with a tiny screw driver or stiff wire.
(A straightened paper clip works nicely).
