Programming and Control

Reset Procedure

Important: The desk must be reset prior to use.
Safety Check: Ensure no obstacles are in the desk's path, the desktop is not touching walls, all cords are of appropriate length, and the control box is properly installed.
Steps:
1. Press and hold the DOWN button on the Handset (D) until the desk reaches its lowest height. Release.
2. Press and hold the DOWN button again until the LED display reads "RST". Release.
