How to Reset the eTrex 10/20/20x/22x/30/30x/32x

There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on an eTrex® 10, 20, 20x, 22x, 30, 30x, and 32x outdoor handheld, including the following:

• Not receiving a satellite signal
• Restoring the factory default settings
• Not functioning properly

The information and steps below will walk you through backing up your data and resetting.

Before Resetting

Performing a full reset can cause user data loss. User data is waypoints, routes, tracks and geocaches.

It is recommended to back up important data with BaseCamp™ software before resetting. For steps, see - Backing up, Viewing, and Transferring Data Using Garmin BaseCamp™.

If removing data is desired to eliminate corrupt data or free up space, see - Deleting GPX Files From an Outdoor Device.

Performing a Full Reset

1. Power the eTrex handheld off
2. Press and hold both Menu and Enter
   
   + Expand all

   How to Use the Enter Button

   Enter is pressing in the center of the thumbstick. It is important that the thumbstick does not move to any side, as this will prevent the reset from working.

   
3. Press and release Light/Power
4. Wait to see, Do you really want to erase all user data? then release Menu and Enter
5. Select Yes

The eTrex is now reset. You will want to take the device outside in a clear view of the sky for a minimum of 20 minutes to re-acquire satellite data.
