How to Reset Foretrex 601/701

There are a few instances in which you may want to perform a master reset on your Foretrex® 601 or 701 outdoor navigator, such as:

  • not receiving a satellite signal
  • want to restore the factory default settings
  • not functioning properly

All settings, user data*, and satellite data may be erased when resetting the GPS. User data can be backed up to the computer, therefore refer to the related content before performing the reset.

To perform the master reset:

  1. Turn off the device
  2. Press and hold the PAGE, ENTER and POWER buttons simultaneously 
  3. Once the device is powering on release POWER, on 1st beep release PAGE, and on 2nd beep release ENTER

The device will now reboot and is reset. You will want to leave the device outside with a clear view of the sky for a minimum of 20 minutes to acquire satellite data.
