Factory reset

[size=x-large]NO[/size], do not touch calibration! EVER, NEVER !!!!

A HUGE agreement on this advice. Be super street wise when entering into this event. I only went through the process on the phone once but I was already posed after info like this at the time. Don't even consider checking that box at all. Luckily I've been "good" with the one reset. martin

it will take you longer to get a tech on the phone and do it than if you just bring them back from your library.. just trying to help.

Bringing the factory programs back doesn't fix things when the V3i goes totally nuts. That's the first thing I tried. Call and ask for Mary Hudson. She is the one to call. martin

1 .This has gotten so long I think have forgotten the first post. The reset is not the way to go just to rest programs.
2. The reset just sets you back to the computers origial state.
3. Whites never stated it was a fix for problems. An ex - mod stated this. If not for him the master reset would still be a secret.

On the DFX dropping the battery with the detector on was a fix. Whites says this should not work on the V detectors. I won't argue the point I'm just telling what Whites stated. If you feel the master reset is a fix, ask Whites for it. I know people have asked and are walked through the process. It shouldn't help but who knows, done right it can't hurt.
