How to Quick Reset your Standing Desk

  1. Press and continue holding the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest height, then rises slightly. Now release the DOWN button.
  2. If the desk doesn't start to move after pressing the DOWN button, release the DOWN button and try again.
  3. You may need to hold the DOWN button for 15 - 30 seconds before the desk starts to move.
  4. If the desk didn't move or the display is still showing an error code, please perform the Full Desk Reset procedure listed below.

Full Desk Reset

  1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
  2. Completely discharge the control box by holding the DOWN button for 10 seconds.
  3. Disconnect the power cord and control pad from the control box, then firmly plug them back in to ensure a good connection.
  4. Disconnect both leg cables from the control box.
  5. Switch the leg cables and reconnect so that they are now in the opposite ports.
  6. Important - verify that you've secured the control box to the desk frame to prevent the anti-collision system from being triggered. Movement of the control box can trigger the anti-collision system, therefore it is important for this component to be mounted securely to the desk.
  7. Ensure that all of the cable connections are firmly inserted into the control box.
  8. Plug the power cord of the desk back into an electrical outlet.
  9. Perform the Quick Reset procedure described above.
