Troubleshooting: How to Perform a Cyan Reset on Your SoniShield Duo
Restart your SoniShield Duo using the SoniCloud mobile app or the device's left-side button.
Before You Begin
Important: Do not press the right-side button on your SoniShield Duo while the device is offline.
Pressing the right-side button while the device is offline will erase the data the device is currently recording and reset its internal clock. Performing a Manual Data Sync will not recover the lost data.
Perform a Cyan Reset
A Cyan Reset restarts the SoniShield Duo and may help resolve certain device issues. You can perform the reset using the SoniCloud mobile app or manually at the device.
Option 1 - Using the SoniCloud Mobile App
Use this option when you can access the SoniShield Duo through Bluetooth.
Step 1 - Open the SoniCloud Mobile App
Open the SoniCloud mobile app.
What you'll see
The SoniCloud mobile app opens.
Step 2 - Open the Bluetooth Meter Scanner
Select Settings in the bottom-right corner, then select Scan for SoniShield Meters (BLE).
What you'll see
The app searches for nearby SoniShield meters.
Step 3 - Locate Your SoniShield Duo
Find your meter using the last four characters of the serial number printed on the faceplate, then select the meter you want to troubleshoot.
What you'll see
The selected SoniShield Duo and its available Bluetooth options are displayed.
Step 4 - Restart the Device
Select LED Reset via Bluetooth, then select Cyan (Light Blue): Restart Device.
What you'll see
The Cyan Reset command is sent to the SoniShield Duo and the device restarts.
Option 2 - Manually at the SoniShield Duo
Use this option when you are physically at the SoniShield Duo and need to restart the device manually.
Step 1 - Press and Hold the Left-Side Button
Press and hold the left-side button marked with the wrench icon for approximately 15 seconds while watching the LED on the faceplate.
What you'll see
The LED cycles through a series of colors while you continue holding the button.
Step 2 - Release the Button at Cyan
Release the button as soon as you see the first cyan (light blue) LED flash.
LED color sequence: Red -> Green -> Yellow -> Dark Blue -> Purple -> Cyan (light blue)
Cyan appears immediately after purple. Release the button at the first cyan flash.
What you'll see
The LED reaches cyan (light blue), indicating the Cyan Reset selection.
Verify the Reset
After performing the Cyan Reset, allow the SoniShield Duo time to restart. Verify that the device resumes normal operation and communication with SoniCloud.
