Special operations with the buttons:
If the splicer for some reason should stop responding to the buttons, there is a way to
RESET the splicer (instead of removing the battery). Push both up and down
buttons at the same time and a hardware reset will occur.
If the middle button is pressed during power on, the splicer will prepare for receiving a
new firmware. The white led will be on but the display will be black. This is described in
more detail in the upgrade guide. This follows the new firmware.
