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.

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.

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.


MultiMAX Factory Reset

The procedure for resetting a MultiMAX to factory defaults is different from the procedure used for a ControlTL radio.

  1. Turn the radio off
  2. While holding C, slide the power switch to TRANSMIT (TRANSMIT and RECEIVE are always reset together).
  3. When you see the "CLEAR/RESET" message on the LCD, release C. The radio is reset to factory defaults.
