If problems are experienced during the use of the field PC, such as an error message or the field PC freezes a safe option is a ‘Soft Reset’. If the field PC fails to operate after a soft reset, a last resort is to start again with clean and fresh field PC by performing a ‘Hard Reset’. Please consult Soil Instruments as your fault maybe simple and easily resolved without completing a ‘Hard Reset’.

 

Press and hold the power key for 3 seconds to display a 5 second countdown.
Continuing to hold down the power key will cause a soft reset when the countdown reaches zero.
Alternatively, if the power button is released during the countdown process, a ‘Power Menu’ will be displayed.  You can soft reset the field PC by selecting the ‘Reset’ option from the power menu.

The field PC will switch off and after a few seconds reboot and restart. The soft reset is now complete.
