RESETTING THE

DISPLAY

If the display shows random charac- ters or does not work properly, you might need to reset it.

Important: This procedure clears the set time and resets the receiver’s mi- croprocessor (the component that controls how the receiver operates), but all stations remain stored. Reset the receiver only when you are sure it is not working properly.

To reset the display, insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the RESET hole on the bot- tom of the receiver. Then gently press and release the button inside the hole.
