Reset the Pathfinder

Quantum Physicists will tell you that at the quantum level, things just happen that you can't predict. Chaos is the order of the day. And you may find yourself the victim of a quantum jump that crashes your Pathfinder.

But don't panic! There are a couple of things you can try that may resurrect your little friend.

 

1. If your unit is locked-up and still ON:

Try a 2-button reset: Select TOOLS key and keep your finger on it while pressing the I/O button (on/off). Release both and then try the I/O button again to turn the unit back on.

If a reset happened, at the bottom of the screen you should see "Prentke Romich Company < a date > jump to existing image."

 

2. If the 2-button reset doesn't work:

Try a 4-button reset: Select TOOLS, STATUS and USER-DEFINABLE keys and hold them down as you press the I/O key. Then release all the keys and try the I/O key to turn it back on again.

If a reset happened, at the bottom of the screen you should see "Prentke Romich Company < a date > jump to existing image."

 

If these techniques fail, call PRC at 1-800-262-1990 and talk to the Service folks. They may need to take the Pathfinder in for surgery.
