How do I clear out the wireless wall console from the opener head?

In all Odyssey^® and Destiny^® operators (Models 7030, 7060, 8030, 8130, 8060, 8160), the wireless wall console will clear from the head in the same manner as other radio frequency (RF) devices (such as keypads or transmitters) clear out.
