Gah! 9070 shifting issue

While cleaning my bike and fiddling with the rear derailleur adjustment, I somehow managed to switch the chain direction (i.e. the shifting paddles are now reversed). I did this without the computer interface (I don't own it), so it must have been a combination of holding both paddles or some other sequence that I did purely by accident.

Any ideas on how to switch them back? The online Shimano documents don't mention how to do it - only that you can do it using their etube software.

This is a mechanics forum. You need an electrician.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Hopefully someone familiar with programming these will come on with actual help.

tongue is planted firmly in cheek here, but you paid how many thousands of dollars for this group?

Go to a shop, spend some more money, the knowledge base isn't here for this.

Or google shimano techdocs, they have a great site.

Couldn't hurt to remove the battery for a few minutes to see if it will reset.

BTW- I hear that Shimano Di2 systems made since 2013 have GPS transponders built in allowing the Feds to track your movements.

Did you use the DI2 Ground Cable P# SHDI279837 and Anti-Static Cleaning Brush P#SHDI2493845?

Thanks all. I've figured it out: In the sober light of day, I think I may have had a minor stroke last night. Suffice it to say the "problem" was not some strange quirk of Japanese engineering, but my general fatigue and glass of wine (or three) with dinner.
