Question - Clear Blue Easy Monitor

I have a question regarding my Clear Blue Easy Monitor. Can anyone answer? Since I had a 36 day cycle last month when I used the monitor, it is mistakenly relying on its "memory" thinking that this month I will have a long cycle. However last month I didn't even put any sticks in it at all, I just used it to track the days basically. This month I want to use it like I have for the past year and track my ovulation. Well it is CD 6 and the monitor did NOT ask me to pee on a stick. Ugh!!! Last cycle was an anomaly and it will not happen again this month. How do I make that stupid monitor ask me for a stick now? I'm going to call their help line in a few hours, but thought I would throw this up on my blog in the meantime. Thanks.

****UPDATED**** - I think I figured it out. I found something online and I tried it. I'll know tomorrow if it worked for sure. I put a test strip in the machine while it was turned off. Then I held down the power and the M button at the same time. At first the machine gave me the symbol to remove the stick which I ignored. Then about 30 seconds later the display started flashing a bunch of symbols, so then I took the test strip out and in the top right corner 2 horizontal lines flashed. So then I held the M button down until I got to day 5. So we'll see if tomorrow it asks me to pee on a stick. Of course it will be one day behind because today is actually day 6, but it's close enough. I'm curious to see if this works.
