  2. Insert the Compact Flash card from the Carlson robot instrument case into a Card Reader or CF card slot on your laptop or desktop computer
  3. Copy the "FormatNVRAM" file from the NVRAM folder that we unzipped in Step #1 to the root directory of the Compact Flash Card
  4. With the Carlson Robot powered off - insert the Compact Flash Card into the slot on the side
  5. Turn on the Carlson robot to perform the Factory Reset
  6. If there is a black screen with text on it showing "SHUTDOWN" or "SYSTEM" after using the steps above you can simply remove the battery then re-insert the battery to complete the factory reset process. After a successful format of the NVRAM the FormatNVRAM file will be automatically deleted from the Compact Flash card.
