Resetting the MX-Proximity-Box
If the MX-Proximity-Box had been connected to a
dierent camera before and was not deactivated or
reset before detaching, the le LED (operating status)
may ash red aer establishing the connection. In this
case, you need to reset the connected and activated
MX-Proximity-Box to factory defaults :
• Remove the box cover.
• Bridge the contact surfaces in the bottom right
corner (red circle in gure) using a screwdriver,
for example (both LEDs are ashing red/blue with
increasing frequency).
• Only remove the bridge if both LEDs of the
MX-Proximity-Box are ashing green on/o 3
times to indicate that the process has nished
successfully.
• Mount the cover back onto the box.
• Set up the MX-Proximity-Box in the camera (see
«Initial Operation of the MX-Proximity-Box» ).
