which you want to perform project recovery.

establish a connection (until a connection is made or the user
clicks Cancel).
5. On the controller, hold down the recessed Reset button
while applying power to the unit. Hold the button down
until the Power LED blinks twice, then release the button.

seconds, during which time the Power LED blinks quickly.

operation and allows a connection to be
made to the unit via GC software without
requiring password entry so that project
files can be retrieved and saved.
