One more CBEFM question before I get to bed

My dear friend has given me her CBEFM to borrow. I just turned it on and it says 99 with the m flashing on the bottom.

Do I have to reset this thing? I've searched for ways to do this (using a test stick, which I don't have yet) but I'm not sure if I really need to. Is it still set to her cycles?

TIA!

Yes you need to reset.

Hold on, I have instructions somewhere...

Resetting the CBEFM:

1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Inset the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY . The monitor should not be turned until step 2.

2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "m" button until these directions say to do so in STEP 5.

3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol (a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Continue pressing "M".

4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the monitor on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.

5. Remove the test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.

6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of the process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its “new” state.

7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet.

rats...my sticks won't come in time. I think they just shipped out today. I guess I can just pay full price for 'em at CVS and then sell the box I got for cheap from amazon.com? That's if I don't need 'em of course.

Thanks babe!
