4.8 Resetting Factory Defaults

Refer to

section 3.5 on page 30

for a list of the instrument's factory default

settings.

Note:

During this procedure the factory default parameters will be restored. Prior to

performing this procedure, document the instrument's parameter setting so that
they may be re-installed later.

Ensure the all instrument's present parameter settings have been
documented then remove AC power from the instrument. Next, while applying
the magnet to the

icon, re-apply power to the instrument. Continue to hold

the magnet in place until the instrument's sign-on screen appears (Model #,
Software version, etc.). Remove the magnet.
