Tech tips: I accidentally changed the language of my Barryvox S--how do I switch it back?

Every once in a while we get a call from someone who accidentally switched the language of their transceiver or is borrowing one from someone who speaks a different language.  Both the Pulse and now the Barryvox S support a number of languages. If your transceiver is set to a language you don't speak, don't panic--it's simple to change it.
The Barryvox S supports English, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, Slovenian, Polish, Czech and Russian

A "virtual tour" of the new Barryvox S & Barryvox Transceivers

The new Barryvox and Barryvox S transceivers are slowly finding their way to many retailers.  Because they've been hard to find we're getting a lot of questions from people who want to see what they're all about.  These short videos give a quick overview of the function and feel of both the new Barryvox S and the new Barryvox and walk you through the basic functions of each beacon.

These videos are intended to give people a feel for the new beacon without having it in hand, and only include a "quick-start" on the basic functions. If you are an advanced user or want real instructions please make sure to check out the Barryvox S Extended Reference Guide or the Barryvox Extended Reference Guide for complete instructions.  This link is very helpful for those deciding between the two beacons.

Here's the video for the Barryvox S:
