1. With the watch powered off, press the button for a second to power it on (a triangle will appear).

2. After the first vibration occurs, immediately hold the button.

   IMPORTANT: If you wait too long after the vibration to hold the button, the watch will load to the Settings menu on the watch.

3. Wait for a second vibration and release the button.

4. Wait for a third vibration and hold the button.

5. Wait for a fourth vibration and release the button.

6. Wait for the watch to reset (this can take up to 15 minutes).

The language selection screen will appear after the reset completes.

NOTE: Any scorecards saved to the watch will remain on the watch after a factory reset.
