How to Reset an Oregon 600 and 700 series
There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on an Oregon® 600 or Oregon® 700 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
- Power the Oregon handheld off
- Press and hold the User button (can be found on the right side below the Power button)
- Press and hold Power while continuing to hold the User button
- Once the device powers on, release Power
- When the message Do you really want to erase all user data? appears, release User button
- Touch Erase
The Oregon 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.
