For the sake of completeness, you can also tap the "Clear" button (under
the keypad) once and the RIT/XIT offset is immediately returned to zero.

Also, if the RIT is active you can just press the RIT button
and hold it in. You'll hear a beep, and the RIT will "center"
itself, that is return to a zero offset. XIT works the same
