A reset shouldn't be needed if it's new and out of the box from the Mfr. Only a 15 second press is needed for any factory button press. Possible the unit was used prior and was 3rd party resealed to make it look new in box as well. Seen alot of re-sellers repackage items.
Good Luck.

RBR40 does not reset to factory using 30/30/30 method and many others on reddit saying something similar.
The guru's here haven't been recommending 30-30-30, so maybe it isn't relevant for these devices ...
