How to Perform a Reset: Step-By-Step Instructions

Resetting your Sync Module depends on its version. Here's how to get it done:

Sync Module XR

1. Locate the reset button on the back of the device.

2. Firmly press it using a small object until you feel a click.
3. Follow the LED indicators (blinking blue and solid green lights) to know it’s ready for setup.

Reconnecting Your Sync Module to Wi-Fi

After completing the reset, you’ll need to reconnect your Sync Module to Wi-Fi. Here’s how:

Troubleshooting Tips and Warnings

• Explore Alternatives First: Before resetting, try rebooting your router, power cycling the Sync Module, or fixing connectivity issues through the app. Resetting should be your last resort.
• Handle the Buttons Carefully: Recessed reset buttons can be delicate, especially on older modules. Use soft pressure to avoid damaging internal components.
• Know Model-Specific Risks: On older units, like the first-generation Sync Module, a hard reset might occasionally "brick" the device, rendering it unusable. Contact Blink Support if issues persist.
