All right, you'd like to wipe all the data, right?

  3. Select the System, then press the Right Upper button to enter.
  4. Now scroll down and find Reset, then press the Right Upper button to enter.
Customer Replay

Then I choose delete data and reset settings?

author

Yes, that's exactly it.

Customer Replay

It’s doing it now and I have the green triangle

author

Note that you might have to wait a bit, this process may take a while.

Customer Replay

thank you for your help

author

Is it done, all good?

Customer Replay

it seems to be loading maps

author

Starting from the beginning, right?

Customer Replay

i think so

author

Ok, you can check if the reset was successful by looking if all the previous info you've had is gone.

Customer Replay

It’s asking me to select a language

author

Ok, select English, perhaps?

Customer Replay

It’s going through the set up menus miles, time format etc, is there a way to turn off without doing all that?

author

It asks you to basically set up everything anew, right?

Customer Replay

yes but I want to leave that for the next owner

author

You can just turn off the device, in this case.

Customer Replay

  1. First, press and hold the Light button to open the Controls menu.
  2. Now use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the menu.
