That's one option. To restore all to factory defaults, from the main menu: 1. Go to file manager menu. 2. Go to erase file. 3. "Erase file from which drive?" choose flash disk. 4. "Erase file from which folder?" choose dictionaries. 5. choose the file: keysoft.ksd 7. After erasing, do a standard reset, reset with no keys held down.
