It restores settings from a rescue partition on a hard drive. Hold reset down for about 5 seconds (while holding down star), and thenelease reset but keep holding star. Wait till your chnit vibrates and then release the key. If you have an icon follow the same steps but use pound as the key to hold instead.

The consol should be touched if you know linux shell commands.
You should never have to take the battery out, but just in case
you do,
make sure that the icon is unplugged.Try a reboot before a reset by pressing star, pound, and program
one.
Then try a short reset, meaning that you press it down quickly.
If that
doesn't work, hold reset for about five seconds and let go. If
that
fails, back up all your settings and attempt a reflash. Thanks Nimer J

What are the various reset commands for the Braille Plus in
order of which
ones should be tried first? reset with a stylus, taking out the
battery,
then what? Sharon

This is console related stuff and probably shouldn't have been
allowed
here.the console is not supported by LevelStar or APH, so these
commands are
notanything you should know about if you're not using the console
to operate
your unit. For those of you who use the console, this is the
exact reason
we do not allow discussion of it on this list--it causes
confusion for
thosewho are just using the Icon/Braille + software. Please try to
address
thesethings on the tech list, or if someone has a question regarding
the
consolethat you think you want to answer, please address it off list.
Thanks, Jenny

Hello,
I don't know anything about the commands mentioned in these
posts. I
think,therefore, that theseessoteric commands and the meaning of some obscuffe folders we
have should
be explained thoroughly in the manual.
I'm truly amazed at how many of you have figured out some of
these arcane
items!

Hi,Thanks for the suggestion... It appears that the Icon now uses
the
Automounter for some reason. Also, when I try to umount
/media/hdd, it
claims there's no such directory even when there is. Baffling
piece of
technology.All I can say is I hope I don't have to turn this thing back in
for
repair aain. Best, Zack.

Hi, Zack,I had something similar with my Icon a while back. I was able
to fix it
by remounting myhard drive from the console. I believe the process went
something like:
umount /media/hdd mount /media/hdd -o rw
I may have needed to put the /dev location in before
"/media/hdd", but
I can't recall forsure. After you do this, if disc drive mode works, you might
need to do
a checkdisk command ifyou're using Windows, or on the Icon itself use fsck, though I
don't
completely recall the exact fsck syntax for this.

Tomorrow, by contrast, I'm pretty busy up until APH and those

you
can think of. Ahh, well. Thanks, Zack.

Zack,
I can think of couple of solutions. But, I would highly
recommend that
youwait till the morning and give APH a call first thing to see
whther
they can walk you through exercises to determine what's exactly wrong.

Hi,In my earlier message about this problem I should have said that
I'd
done a reboot and reset, which failed to fix things.I am a moderately experienced Linux user, and my suspicion is
that the
hard drive is not mounting correctly.I would hope I don't need to send this unit back in. I
literally just
got it back from APH today after a bout with hardware issues. I
was
looking
forward to using it. Thanks, Zack.
