Basically, they want to make sure that no settings are left enabled that
may have been turned on during testing. This will clear all values and
set everything to defualt. Though it is not necessary, they recommend
it. You can do this quite easily by just removing the little battery
for about 15 seconds instead of playing with the little pins. I
wouldn't really worry about it, but if you can't boot off the bat, you
will need to do this.
