Factory Reset
Next recommended reading: Basic Wireless TTL
Sometimes you need to reset either the channels you are using, or reset the radio back to factory defaults.

There are two levels of RESET for ControlTL radios:
RESET A, a Simple Reset, allows you to reset learned channels to the channels last set in the Utility (C.1 and C.2
configurations). This reset option will retain all features set via the Utility.
RESET B, a Factory Default Reset, will reset all features and channels to the Factory Default Settings.
IMPORTANT: Factory Reset and Learn Mode both use the TEST button for a long time. If you are not sure if you
are engaging Learn Mode or Factory Reset, read about the Status LED to see the difference.
Reset A - Reset Channels Only
RESET A: Returns both C.1 and C.2 to the channels you last set in the PocketWizard Utility. Reset A is primarily
used for resetting channels that were taught in the field.
1. Turn the radio off
2. While holding TEST, slide the power switch to C.1 (C.1 and C.2 are always reset together).
3. Hold TEST for a few moments until you see 2 green blinks, then release TEST. The channels
are restored to their last Utility values. If you’ve never set the channels using the Utility, then the channels are
restored to factory defaults.
Reset B - Factory Defaults

RESET B Returns all of your radio’s settings, including channels and all settings from the PocketWizard Utility, to
factory defaults.
1. Turn the radio off
2. While holding TEST, slide the power switch to C.1 (C.1 and C.2 are always reset together).
3. Hold TEST for ~10 seconds until you see 4 green blinks, then release TEST. The radio is reset to factory defaults.
Firmware Upgrades
After updating your firmware, always perform a Reset B. While the PocketWizard Utility performs a factory reset
automatically when you upgrade the firmware, and has a Factory Reset button on the Update tab, Reset B remains
the recommended method after a firmware upgrade.
Factory Reset from within the Utility
You now have the option to perform a “Factory Reset” from within the PocketWizard Utility for your ControlTL
radio. In addition, when you update your radios via the Utility, factory reset will be performed automatically which
can be a real time saver. Your previous settings will be saved, and when possible, you will be able to re-load them
after the firmware update and factory reset. A large jump in firmware versions or a specific change in the firmware
may make it impossible to re-load, so be sure to write down any custom settings for Configuration 1 or
Configuration 2 before you reset your radios so you can re-apply them after the upgrade.
