The button is for a "soft" reset. You do not need to use it to do a "hard" reset.

Please read your manual page 13 on how to do a hard reset. Involves button and pressing at a corner of screen.



thanks alot. probs solved. :peace:

After hard reset have you got satellite lock ? Otherwise it will default to USA and India is nearer than Malaysia ... :-'
