Resetting the Persistent Registry
!!!WARNING!!!  You may need to Re-Register SurvCE on the Internet after this Procedure

1) Write down the serial #:  in SurvCE, tap Equip  About SurvCE  Change Registration {it should start with a 5}, or- It should be printed on the Back Cover of your SurvCE Manual

2) Check that the jobs are in SystemCFData:  Tap File  tap Job = on the Top Left check what directory the jobs are being stored in

3) Backup All jobs on the Data Collector to a Desktop or a Laptop Computer

4) Reset the Persistent Registry:
a. Turn the Screen on, tap File and Exit to exit SurvCE

b. With the Screen still turned on: hold the On/off button down for 10 or 12 seconds (the screen should fade out and go blank) after 10 or 12 seconds, let go of the On/off button

c.  With your Left hand hold down the "ESC" key and the "DEL" key --- Then immediately tap and release the "On_Off" button {just push down on the On/Off key once and let go of it right away} make sure to continue to hold the "ESC" and "DEL" keys down.

d.  The white loader screen should show up with the second line reading "Invalidating Persistent Registry" and A status bar with # symbols will go across

e.  Let off all the keys when you see the ### symbols on the screen

f. A screen should open up with a Cross-Hair in the middle to calibrate the stylus --- just follow what the screen prompts you to do 

g.  If your SurvCE shortcut is gone: Go to My Device  SystemCF  SurvStar directory = scroll down to the second "Hard Hat" picture, tap once on it to highlight it / tap File / tap "Send To" / tap "Desktop as Shortcut" / tap X to exit out of My Computer 

Tip #1) After holding the ESC and DEL buttons down you should immediately tap and release the On_Off button but continue holding "ESC" and "DEL" down

Tip #2) If you hold down the On_Off button too long instead of tapping and releasing it immediately the Reset will fail and the unit will boot normally without any screen calibration prompts

Tip #3) If you hold ESC and DEL down and Tap and release the On_Off button and the unit doesn't power on just release all the keys and start over from the third Step "c." above
