MP Modem Operation

Reset the MP modem

The reset button for the MP modem is on the top of the housing.

To reset the MP modem, press the button until all four indicator lights illuminate. (Do not use sharp imple‐ ments that might puncture the rubber.)

Resetting the MP modem is equiv‐ alent to turning the MP modem off and on. This terminates any data connection and causes the MP modem to perform a self‐test. (Stored settings are not lost.)
