On occasion a customer wishes to simply clear instrument memory and start over from scratch. While not documented in X-Rite operation manuals this is possible. To clear memory and re-establish X-Rite factory default settings proceed as follows:
Remove external power from the unit and allow it to "sleep". NOTE: Older 380's (those with batteries) may be forced into a sleep mode more quickly by pressing and holding both of the center keys (keys 2 & 3). Â
Re-apply power (or if the batteries are well charged - simply press any key to "wake" the instrument). Â
IMMEDIATELY press and hold both keys 1 and 3. The words "Keys Pressed" will appear. When this occurs, release the keys. Â
The instrument will next display the words "Master Reset? Yes No". Â
Press the key beneath the word "Yes". The instrument will immediately clear its program memory - - setting all parameters back to factory shipping values.
Â
Note:
The customer will lose ALL information currently stored in the device. This procedure should only be performed if the desire is to completely wipe the unit of all previous information.
