1. Disconnect the power supply from the IRIS unit.
2. Press and hold the UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons. Reconnect the power supply and release the
pushbuttons.

lists the RS-232 baud rates and corresponding display digits.
4. Press the UP or DOWN pushbuttons to reset the baud rate.
5. Press and hold the UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons again to set the new baud rate. The READY LED
