Hi,
The "click" would mean the reset button itself would make some
sort of a small clicking noise when pressed.
Here are the rundown of resets (in order of severity) for
reference (including ones not covered in the user guide; note:
use it with caution, as explained below):
* Warm Reset: Press the Reset button. Used to restart the Apex
when asked by upgrade or feature installation; when the Apex seem
frozen. When this reset is done, Apex will try to save current
device information before restarting with potentially unsaved
data being lost.
* Hard (unconditional) Reset: Press and hold the reset button
(for about five seconds) until Apex beeps. Used mostly when the
Apex seem frozen and if Apex does not respond to press of the
reset button. Similar to when the power or battery is suddenly
removed from a computer. If data is not saved, it'll be lost.
* Clear Settings (Registry) Reset: Press Reset with DOTS 4-5-6
(JKL). This is used to go back to factory settings and to
reinstall missing system files. This also erases
Bluetooth pairing information and partnership info on
ActiveSync/WMDC.
* Clean (ROM) Reset: Press Reset with DOTS 1-2-3 (FDS). Used for
reinitializing the system files to original state and removes
installed extensions (be sure to have a copy of the installation
files before proceeding with this).
* Factory Restore and Flash Disk Format: Backup your files from
Flash Disk, as this is used to reformat the Flash Disk and to
reinitialize system files. After backup is done, from Main Menu,
go to Options/Support Information Mode then press BACKSPACE with
DOTS 1-2-4-5-6 (CTRL with FN with E). If you would like to
proceed, say "yes," otherwise say "no."
After saying "yes," BrailleNote will shutdown while formatting
progresses, then it'll perform Clean Reset.
This info is based on Apex. Again note them with caution, as
doing them at wrong times means lost data.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] types of resets
Hello,
Can anyone give me a current rundown of the various resets? I've
checked
the manual and the clear reset says something about the unit
clicking, which
it doesn't. I have a feeling the appendix is out of date but not
sure.
Someone yesterday said that HW doesn't monitor the list, and I
know that
they do.
I understand the frustration many feel about the features that
the Apex
doesn't have, and I feel some of that too. But to compare the
Apex with a
mainstream mobile device ignores the fact that this is a
specialized
market, with far less money at it's disposal.
I can't imagine buying anything else, given the intuitiveness of
the
command structure which is important for those of us who learned
the system
on our own.
