How to Reset the Colorado Series
There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on a Colorado® series 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 Related.
Performing a Full Reset
- Power the Colorado handheld off
- Press and hold both Soft Keys (silver buttons on the front of the device)
- Power the device on while continuing to hold both Soft Keys
- Release all buttons when the Do you really want to erase user data? message appears
- Select Yes
The Colorado 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.
