factory settings are:

Press each of the handler terminal’s keys/buttons (save [Enter] for last.) As you do, the correct ASCII

Send any ASCII character to the handler. The character should appear on the handler's 16 digit
controller display. Verify that communications to/from the handler's terminal and the PC are clear.
