How to perform a soft reset on the Seiko QR-395

A soft reset will reset the Seiko QR-395, however, unlike a factory default reset, all custom settings will be retained.  It is similar in operation to temporarily disconnecting the power to the Seiko QR-395.

If you have the optional backup battery installed, you will not be able to easily disconnect the power.  Therefore, should a situtation arise that requires the Seiko QR-395 to be reset, you can use the soft reset procedure.


If you need to perform a soft reset on your Seiko QR-395 time clock, follow the procedure below.

1. If you haven't already done so, with power applied to the Seiko QR-395, unlock and remove the top cover.






2. Push the reset switch with a pointed implement such as a folded paper clip.




3. After a short period, the Seiko QR-395 will reset and display the firmware version details.



Following the soft reset, the Seiko QR-395 will return to normal operation.
