How to set standing desk presets of the Autonomous SmartDesk 2
The Autonomous SmartDesk 2 is manually adjustable. This means you can select the height anywhere between 29 inches and 48 inches manually with the help of the up and down buttons. There are 4 presets which work for memorizing 4 of these heights. Such functions are useful to alternate between sitting and standing. But they can also be used for multiple users.

- Basic troubleshooting
Autonomous standing desk stuck up in a position
If your Autonomous desk has a problem standing up, there are a few things you may want to consider to fix it. If the Autonomous standing desk won’t move up, won’t move down or it simply won’t move in any direction, these are some tests which can be run at home.
Try a hard reset
- To reset the Autonomous standing desk, you need to push and press the down button until RST appears on the display.
Alternatively
- Press and hold both the up and down buttons
- Three 0 characters appear on the display
- Press the down arrow until the desk is down completely
- Stop pressing the down button
Fully Jarvis desk stuck in a position and it won’t move
Similarly to the Autonomous standing desk, the Fully Jarvis standing desk can get stuck as well. Its ASR and E07 errors can be fixed with a hard reset, but not in all cases. To manually reset the desk, users need to follow these steps.
- Press and hold the down button until the desk is at its lowest position
- The button needs to be continuously pressed from this position until the display shows RESET.
Varidesk ProDesk Standing Desk stuck and won’t move
In case your Varidesk ProDesk standing desk is stuck, the reset procedure is similar. Given there’s no actual physical problem, you can simply try a software reset.
- Press and hold the down button until the desk reaches its lowest height
- Keep pressing until a beeping sound confirms the reset
Conclusion
Setting the presets of a standing desk is easy, following the steps above. However, there are situations where faulty desks would simply not save any of these presets. One of the best troubleshooting methods is to simply try a manual reset. On the other hand, directly contacting the customer service team is the next step, in case the problems persist.
As a side note, other standing desks can save a preset over an old one. If there are 3 total presets and a user tries to save another height, the desk will simply override the first save height position. This can be important when there are multiple users on the same desk.
In a few situations, the reset function is not working either. Additional tech on the reset function such as the beep might be off as well. In this case, it’s highly likely to be a software issue. Before trying to see what’s actually causing the standing desks not to reach their height, you should also ensure there are no physical impediments.
There are 4 presents on the most standing desks. Do you use all of them? Are you sharing your desk with work colleagues? How are the presets working for you? Let us know below. For an example of such a desk, you can check here on Amazon!
