Reseting the Device
In few cases (after firmware update, etc) you may need to reset the device. Pushing the reset button results
the same as you disconnect and reconnect the power adaptor to the switcher. To reseting the device follow
the steps:

Step 1.
Push the button with a thin object for a second.
Step 2.
Wait until the device reboots. You can use the switcher when the LIVE LED is blinking slowly again.

Reseting the device does not reset the settings to factory defaults. To reset factory default
settings see the previous section.

It may happen that the firmware update process is not successful and the device cannot be switched to

follows:
#bootload
Step 1.
Make sure the switcher is powered off.
Step 2.
Press and keep pressed the
Show Me
button.
Step 3.
Power on the switcher while the
Show Me
button is being pressed. If the device is switched to firmware
update mode the LIVE LED is blinking quickly (less than 500 ms duty cycle). The other LEDs are off.
The procedure of firmware update can be found in the
chapter.
