Bernd, when the unit was on, the CLR key key would not work, so there is no way for me to reset it as you need that key

I never had to do that myself, but apparently others have. A wire would work, or a paper clip. I spread open a pair of metal tweezers that were handy to span between the contacts.

Just tried this and still nothing.
