How to cancel Boost with Jandy Aquapure with Aqualink

I ran out of all my chlorine testing chemicals, and so I ordered more. When I got the new one, I thought it was the quick test one, but it was actually the more advanced test one (which I hadn't run out of) and when I tested, I thought my chlorine was 0. Turns out it is 1.5ppm for salt pool, which is fine. Thinking it was 0, and knowing I am having 18 family members over tomorrow, I clicked "boost" on my Jandy with Aqualink controls under my house. Now that I realize it is 1.5, it only needs a little (like maybe raising from 25% to 50%, but I can't get it to stop the boost. I tried turning off the breaker for a few minutes and then turning it back on, but it goes right back to flashing between 60 and 80, and I can't lower it. The cell, flow, and cell reversing lights are all on. My pool guy's suggestion had been the breaker suggestion, so now I have no idea what to do. Trying the online way of canceling the boost didn't work b/c apparently it is not set up to find my Jandy Aquapure. Freaking out...help?
 
Press and hold the POOL TEMP -BOOST- button D for 10 seconds to enter the Boost mode (Note ‘bo’ will flash intermittently). Boost can be used to set chlorine production to maximum (100%) for 24 hours of operation. After 24 hours of chlorinator run time, chlorine production will return to previous setting.

To clear the Boost mode, press and hold the POOL TEMP -BOOST- button D again for 10 seconds.

I had tried that (as it seemed the logical first thing to try to cancel) but apparently I didn't hold it long enough!!! Thanks for finding that in the manual for me - apparently my "search" didn't work very well. Now I held it longer and it canceled, so I was able to lower the chlorine flow to 40%, but it is still saying "cell reversing" on...should I be worried about that?
