Reset Button

Should your 74-200 become unresponsive to button entries or does not work properly, a reset button has been added. This button is accessed from the bottom of the 74-200. To activate this function, use a long object such as a straightened paper clip. Carefully insert this into the small hole marked “Reset”. When you press the button inside the 74-200, you will feel a click. This resets the Clock, Calendar and alarm time. This reset will not affect the “SAME” codes entered.
