- Press and hold the front button on the valve until a 'M' appears on the screen.

- After 10 seconds the 'M' will flash and the valve will feel loose.
- Rotate the Device until you can see the back of the device and firmly push down the button whilst pulling up on the battery cover. This will remove the battery cover from the device
- Now that the shell has been removed, press & hold the same button the battery cover was in front of whilst turning the device anti-clockwise.
- M30 adaptor: The adaptor is most likely to remain with the Genius Radiator Valve, but if it remains on the radiator this is not a problem.

- Screw the Genius Radiator Valve back onto the radiator valve body clockwise.
- Press and hold the front button on the valve until the 'M' stops flashing the the valve will 'buzz'.
- The valve is successfully mounted back on the radiator when the screen shows the target temperature when you press the middle button, and it is stiff if you try to rotate the valve.
- If the battery cover is not installed, either line up the buttons at the back of the device, or the screen and clear screen cover, and gently push the battery cover down until it clicks.
- If the Genius Radiator Valve screen is facing the wrong way, rotate the device clockwise until the screen faces the front. The device will click as it rotates, but this will not loosen the device from the radiator.

If you have difficulty removing the Genius Radiator Valve or the ring adaptor
Sometimes, the Genius Radiator Valve or the M30 x 1.5m / RA adaptor ring may be stubborn to unscrew. Here is a guide on unscrewing the Genius Radiator Valve in this instance
- Take off the battery cover and remove the batteries.
- Rotate the valve clockwise until you see a hole appear in the slot which was between the batteries.
- Using the hex key that comes with the Genius Radiator Valve (or a very small screwdriver), place it through the slot and into the hole.
- Holding the tool firmly in place, unscrew the valve anti-clockwise until the valve comes off. Depending on the fitting, the valve may be quite stiff to begin with.
