Title: "Factory Restore" or a "Quick Start"

After installing the firmware in the Classic AND MNGP it would be a good idea to do a "Factory Restore" or a "Quick Start".

To do this first turn the battery and solar power to the Classic off. Next, turn the battery power back on
while holding the Left and Right arrows. Hold the arrows until the first "Solar, Wind or Hydro" screen pops up.
Follow the on screen prompts and continue setup.
Note: This will reset all settings to factory defaults. You will need to reset any custom settings such as Aux 1 and 2. You may want to write these settings down for reference prior to resetting the Classic.

Or use the EXPORT & IMPORT functions of the Local App to backup this data

I just upgraded firmware in two remote Classic 200's per the 31 step process and now can not seem them on MyMidNite.  Also, I have not seen them do any charging since the upgrade, only "Resting".   Did I miss something?   I rebooted both of them after the upgrades.

I just did a bunch of classics this weekend , but NOT remote , Solar off , then battery switching for classic & MNGP . All while I was on site. Some had solar off after reboot , and some had a address change . I did check all since i came from 17## on some &1849 on others , but now all are 2079FW for ones in service & spares.

You likely need to do a factory restore as talked about above, On My Midnite the new firmware points to the new site. go to mymidnite2.com and log in there and you should see your classics
