Acer p700 hard reset

Resetting the Acer p700 Series Portable Navigator
You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to the buttons on the screen). A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This will restart your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset. GPS settings are also retained.
Performing a soft reset
Hold the device securely, and slide switch the soft reset button on the bottom left of your device.

NOTE: Performing a soft reset will not clear the RAM in the unit.

Performing a hard reset
If a soft reset does not correct the problem, you can then try a hard reset. Slide the power switch to the left and then slide it back to the right.

NOTE: Performing a hard reset will clear the RAM in the unit and reset the GPS of the unit.

Loading the factory default settings

If you still encounter system errors even after soft and hard resetting the device, load the factory default settings to correct the error. These default settings have been selected to optimize your device’s performance.

To load the factory default settings:

1 Tap System on the Main Menu panel.

2 Tap Factory Default on the System screen.

3 Tap YES on the dialog box.

4 After the factory reset, reconfigure your device’s user preferences.

NOTE: Performing a factory default will erase the RAM, reset the GPS and erase all the user / application data on the unit’s flash storage. The data on the SD card will not be erased.
