I received the following info from my MTB, for 0i Mate TC. On your machine the parameter APZ may have a number different from 1815#4. You can use this procedure even without replacing the battery, but the coordinate setting would work only in the current session. So, first replace the battery.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE PROCEDURE FOR SETTING REFERENCE POSITION (FOR MACHINES WITH ABSOLUTE ENCODER) IN CASE THE REFERENCE POSITION IS DISTURBED BY ANY REASON :
SET PARAMETER 1815 # 4 (APZ) FOR THE CORRESPONDING AXIS (X OR Z) = 0
SWITCH THE POWER OFF AND THEN ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS.
MESSAGE “---- (X OR Z)-AXIS NEED ZRN” WILL APPEAR ON CRT (NC ALARM).
MOVE THE AXIS TO THE REFERENCE POSITION BY MANUAL JOGGING
(NORMALLY 10 MM AWAY FROM THE EMERGENCY POSITION).
SET PARAMETER 1815 # 4 (APZ) FOR THE CORRESPONDING AXIS (X OR Z) = 1
SWITCH THE POWER OFF AND THEN ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS.
NOW THIS POSITION WILL BECOME THE MACHINE REFERENCE VALUE FOR THIS AXIS. IT WILL, HOWEVER, BE DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS REFERENCE VALUE. AS A RESULT, ALL THE PREVIOUS TOOL OFFSET SETTINGS WILL BECOME INCORRECT AND WILL HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN.
