Reset Button

Hold in the reset button for 5 seconds to load the factory default configuration. After loading the factory defaults, the system will reboot automatically. We recommend that you use this function only if the software is not working properly. To reset the Linux system software, always use the software reboot command (“reboot”) to protect the integrity of your data.

The reset button is NOT designed as a hard reboot for the embedded computer.

ATTENTION

Restoring default settings preserves your data

Resetting the embedded computer to factory defaults will NOT format the user directory and will NOT erase the user’s data. The reset button only loads a configuration file. All files in the /etc directory will revert to their factory defaults, but all other user data will remain intact in the Flash ROM.

Please note that if there is a problem with the /etc directory, the embedded computer may be unable to restore the factory default settings.
