How to restore the factory setting of this device? What is the magic with entering letters?!

- Encode the MAC address into decimal digits following the rule:
Example:
MAC address : 000B82021FA9
Encoded address: 000 222 82021 3333 22 9
- Access the configuration menu and choose 99 the RESET menu.
- Enter the encoded MAC address after the sound prompt, and if the address is entered correctly the device will restart automatically. And after this you can continue 'playing' with Grandstream HandyTone-486 ;)
