fatal error, the LED will blink in a pattern other than those below.

Reset and restore 

There is a button hidden in the pinhole beside the 

Ethernet socket. It is used to reset the system or 

restore the factory default settings. Sometimes 

resetting the system can make the system back to 

normal state. If the system still has problems after 

reset, restore the factory settings and install again. 

RESET:    

Poke the wrench to click on the button. 

RESTORE:   1. Poke the wrench to press on the 

button continuously. 

2. Wait for self-diagnostic to run twice. 

3. Withdraw the wrench as soon as the second 

self-diagnostic starts.

 Restore the factory defaults 

will erase any previous settings. 

Reset or restore the system after 

power on.
