3. Wait for a while to let the junction box cool down to a normal temperature.

4. Press any key.

One of the RANGE LEDs (of the range used before the device entered protec-
tion mode) lights up and the device gets back to normal.
The DEMAG / AUTO ZERO LED blinks slowly, which indicates demagnetiza-
tion and automatic zero-adjustment are required.
