# Factory reset

A factory reset on the base station causes all settings to be lost.

Carry out the pairing process again if necessary, see [Teaching devices / pairing](https://faqdoc.info/en/?post_type=docs&p=9251).

**Press and hold: ≥ 3 sec, ≤ 10 sec
Press briefly: ≥ 50 msec, ≤ 2 sec**

**Procedure**

1. Press and hold the pairing button for at least 3 sec
   → The heating zone 1 LED flashes quickly.
   → The LEDs of all other heating zones are off.
2. Repeat the process until heating zone 8 is reached.
3. Briefly press the pairing button (1) again.
   → The LEDs of **all**heating zones flash quickly.
4. Press and hold the pairing button (1) for at least 3 sec.
   → The factory reset is performed.
   → The device then restarts.

If, after selecting the last heating zone, the pairing button is pressed briefly rather than pressed and held, the heating zone selection procedure starts again from the beginning.

**Note**: If the procedure is not carried out correctly, the Alpha RF light base station returns to normal operation.
