That means COMPASS did a complete restart and the thresholds for heater and battery voltages should be new set.
Can anyone try to send the following DTMF sequences to COMPASS-1 (if in sunlight), please :

uplink:              145.980 MHz FM
confirmation beep on 437.275 MHz CW

** 13 # 200 #   
** 14 # 200 #
** 15 # 178 #
** 16 # 170 #

If you have no possibilities to send DTMF tones with your transceiver, you can download here a very simple DTMF controller for COMPASS. Simply hold the microphone in front of your loudspeaker and press the buttons.
