It may be due to OS updates. Hotsync will automatically download any OS updates to the unit after a reset. These all require a reset after installing.

No. Hard reset, sync, rename, finish sync, reset device seems to be the only option when an OS update is available. If you were to alter the Hotsync name without wiping out the unit's memory the OS update should remain and then not require a reset. Just make sure if you go this route, you're not doing it with the intention of circumventing someone's software licensing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John C.
