Master Reset Dakota

There are a few instances in which you may want to perform a master reset on your Dakota, 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 related content before performing the reset.

To perform the master reset:

  Power the device off
  Press and hold your finger on the upper left side of the display
  Power the device on while still maintaining pressure on the display
  Release on the display when the Do you really want to erase all user data? message appears
  Touch Yes

The Dakota is now 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.

*User data consists of waypoints, routes, tracks, and geocaches
