General

Prior to performing any setup procedures, it is recommended that you perform a factory reset — in order to reset all input, output and source mappings to their default values.

Particularly for customers in the events and rental marketplace, this procedure guarantees that any previous input setups and memory registers (e.g., those that may have been programmed by other users) are completely cleared from system memory.

Note: If you are continuing an event (for example, day two of a three-day event), you do not need to perform a factory reset. However, if you do elect to perform a factory reset, ensure that you have backed up your system. for details, please refer to the procedure “Backing up the system”.

Prerequisite

• Ensure that you are familiar with the Reset Menu. For details on all menus, please refer to chapter “Restoring Factory Default Settings”.
