Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I accidentally delete system files or corrupt the operating system, is there any way to
recover the system or reset the embedded computer to factory defaults?
A: If the embedded computer is behaving strangely or not working properly, you may reset it back
to factory default settings. While the embedded computer is powered on, use a paper clip or pin
to hold the “Reset to Default” button down for five seconds. This is a recessed button on the
front of the unit.
A buzzer will sound as the factory default settings are loaded. When the procedure is
completed, the system will automatically reboot. At that time, the embedded computer will
have rolled back to its original state as defined by the original registry database. Persistent files
in the “NORFlash” directory will not be altered and should remain intact.
