PLZ-4WL

Factory Default Settings (Initialization)

The PLZ-4WL’s backup function saves the current settings, menu settings, and memory
entries (ABC and preset) even after the power switch is turned off.
You can initialize the PLZ-4WL to set all of its settings to their factory defaults.

Turn the POWER switch off ( ).

Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC INPUT terminals (the load
input terminals) on the front panel.

While holding down ENTER, turn the POWER switch on ( ).

Keep holding ENTER until the display lights up and “SET CLR” appears. The PLZ-4WL
will start up with the factory default settings.
