How to Reset Montana 600 Series

There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on a Montana® 600 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, activities and geocaches.

It is recommended to back up important data with BaseCamp™ software before resetting. For steps, see Related.

If removing data is desired to eliminate corrupt data or free up space, see Related.

Performing a Full Reset

1. Power off the Montana handheld
2. Press and hold a fingertip on the upper left-hand side of the touchscreen (can be done in portrait or landscape)
3. Press the power button to turn on the Montana handheld
4. Continue holding the screen until the message Do you really want to erase all user data? appears
5. Release fingertip from the screen
6. Touch Erase

The Montana handheld is now reset. Allow the device to sit in a clear view of the sky for about 20 minutes to refresh the satellite data.
