How can I reset my Canary device if I experience technical issues?

Asked 4 months ago
If you are experiencing technical issues with your Canary device, resetting it can often help resolve these problems. First, you need to locate the reset button on your device. This is typically found on the back or bottom of the unit. To perform the reset, use a pointed object, such as a paperclip or a pin, to press and hold the reset button for about ten seconds. You may notice the LED indicator light changing colors, which signifies that the device is resetting. After releasing the button, wait for the device to reboot, which may take a minute. Once it has rebooted, you will need to set it up again through the Canary app, as the reset will erase any saved settings. If issues persist after the reset, it may be worth checking the official Canary website for further troubleshooting tips or support options.
