4.6 Resetting to defaults
C
WARNING – Do not hold down [P] for more than 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, any
application files stored in the receiver are deleted and the CompactFlash card is
reformatted.
To reset the receiver to its factory default settings, hold down [P] for at least 15 seconds.
Resetting the receiver to its factory defaults also deletes any ephemeris file in the
receiver.
For more information, see Chapter 9, Default Settings.
4.7 Formatting a CompactFlash card
C
WARNING – Formatting a CompactFlash card while it is in the receiver deletes all the data
files on the card and all the application files in the receiver.
To format a CompactFlash card for use in a Trimble R7 GPS receiver, insert the card in
the CompactFlash port and then hold down
[P] for at least 30 seconds. After 15
seconds, the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, and any ephemeris file is deleted.
After 30 seconds, any files stored on the card are deleted and the CompactFlash card is
reformatted.
Note – When you use
[P] to format the CompactFlash card, a quick format is performed. A
quick format reformats the card for use with the Trimble R7 GPS receiver and deletes all
data on the card. A full format checks the card for errors or bad sectors, and is only
necessary if the card is corrupted. To perform a full format, use the GPS Configurator
software. For more information, see The GPS Configurator software, page 50.
