  • Keep the SET button pressed for about 4 seconds until the LED switches off and after a few seconds you will notice again LED activity.

This completes the factory reset of your receiver.

Note: A factory reset only resets the settings of the receiver to their default factory values. The bind state between the radio and receiver will remain active.
