Dear list members, particularly Brian, Chris, and others, I have tried it, but what you'll get is a simple reset. The reset with all 9 keys, plus a service reset, only carries out Service Reset (Reset+Record).

I assume you mean the service reset, discussed below. The service reset is only available on the BrailleNote Mpower. According to HumanWare UK Technical Support, the effect is the same as if the battery is removed, then re-inserted, while the BrailleNote is switched on! Obviously, this reset can cause very serious problems if performed at the wrong time, therefore HumanWare ask that you call a tech support person if you need to perform it (see quote below). There have only been two times where I've needed to perform a service reset, and they were when I incorrectly upgraded from 7.0 to 7.01, and when the Braille Display failed to operate. Here is a quote from the BrailleNote Mpower BT User guide: "C.4 Service Reset. The service reset should only be performed under the supervision of a service staff member. If performed at the wrong time, it can cause loss of data and possibly a malfunction that could require you to return your unit for servicing. It is akin to, but potentially more harmful than, pulling the plug on your PC while it is working. It is only mentioned at all in this manual so that users will be aware of the consequences of doing it should they hear of it from other users." To summerise, do *not* use this reset unless you absolutely have to! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lingard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 7:20 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Manufacturer's Reset > Ottawa Canada > > Dear Kendell: > > Your mention of the Manufacturer's Reset is the first I've heard > of it. > > Sounds pretty drastic but if it saves sending in your unit for > service, I guess it is worth it. > > Brian > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.3/446 - Release Date: > 12/09/2006 > > > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > > ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
