Depending on what needs resetting this may or may not come off first. So if you want to flick to the next item literally just press the RESET button again and then it will cycle through the service item
Press and hold the RESET button
Next, to reset it you’re gonna want to hold that in until it says perform reset?
Press the button again
And then when it says perform reset, let go and then press it again to confirm the reset
