# Reset to Defaults

From the <span class="s2">**Custom Variables (C Var)**</span> menu, if you continue scrolling past the last C Var entry, you will reach a screen labelled <span class="s2">**“reset”**</span>. This screen allows you to <span class="s2">**restore all sensor settings to their factory defaults**</span>.

This is useful if many settings or Custom Variables have been adjusted and you want to quickly return the sensor to its original standard behaviour.

#### **Performing a Reset**

1. <span class="s1">Navigate to the </span>**Custom Variables (C Var)**<span class="s1"> menu.</span>
2. Continue scrolling using the <span class="s1">**Right Arrow**</span> until you reach the <span class="s1">**“reset”**</span> screen. 
    - <span class="s1">The word </span>**“reset”**<span class="s1"> will appear </span>**without blinking**<span class="s1">.</span>
3. Press the <span class="s1">**Up**</span> or <span class="s1">**Down**</span> button once — the word <span class="s1">**“reset”**</span> will begin <span class="s1">**blinking**</span>, indicating that the reset function is armed.
4. Press the <span class="s1">**Set**</span> button to confirm. 
    - The text <span class="s1">**“reset”**</span> will disappear.
    - The <span class="s1">**clock symbol**</span> will blink for approximately <span class="s1">**3 seconds**</span>, indicating the reset is in progress.
    - When complete, the sensor will automatically return to the <span class="s1">**Home Screen**</span>.

#### **Cancelling a Reset**

If, while <span class="s2">**“reset”**</span> is blinking, you press <span class="s2">**Left**</span> or <span class="s2">**Right**</span> instead of <span class="s2">**Set**</span>, the screen will move back to the previous or next C Var setting, and <span class="s2">**no reset will be performed**</span>.

#### **Notes**

- Resetting the sensor restores <span class="s1">**all user-configurable options**</span> (including Global, Still, Video, and Custom Variable settings) to their <span class="s1">**factory defaults**</span>.
- The <span class="s1">**firmware version**</span> remains unchanged.
- After performing a reset, it’s recommended to review your key configuration settings (e.g., wireless channel, mode, and time) before redeploying the sensor.
