Resetting the MX-Proximity-Box
If the MX-Proximity-Box had been connected to a
different camera before and was not deactivated or
reset before detaching, the left LED (operating status)
may flash red after establishing the connection. In this
case, you need to reset the connected and activated
MX-Proximity-Box to
factory defaults:
• Remove the box cover.
• Bridge the contact surfaces in the bottom right
corner (red circle in figure) using a screwdriver,
for example (both LEDs are flashing red/blue with
increasing frequency).
• Only remove the bridge if both LEDs of the
MX-Proximity-Box are flashing green on/off 3
times to indicate that the process has finished
successfully.
• Mount the cover back onto the box.
• Set up the MX-Proximity-Box in the camera (see
«Initial Operation of the MX-Proximity-Box»).
