Restore the settings of the EXPLORER 510
The EXPLORER 510 has a Reset button that has three functions: To restore all settings to
factory settings, to restore WLAN settings only and to put the EXPLORER 510 into safe mode
for recovery software upload.
The Reset button is located inside the small hole next to the SIM slot.
Do as follows:
1. Loosen the two screws holding the SIM cover.
2. Lift the cover.
3. Use a pointed device to push the Reset button.
4. Close the cover and tighten the two screws carefully.
This is important in order to maintain the IP grade of the EXPLORER 510.
