8.6 Factory Reset Procedures
In the event that a reset is required, the ZonePRO offers you the option of performing a
“Hard” or “Soft” Factory Reset.
The results of performing a “Soft” reset are:
• The state of the currently loaded scene’s parameters are reset to what has been stored
in flash for that scene (this invalidates the state of those parameters when the device
was last turned off).
• The currently loaded scene is reset to Scene 1.
