including all MapSight application-specific data from the MapSight unit in preparation
for reinstalling or upgrading the MapSight OS Software.
WARNING! Zeroizing your MapSight unit will remove all software and data from the
unit and render it unusable as a MapSight unit until MapSight OS software is

software registration codes, etc.), and you have an appropriate version of the MapSight OS
installation software before performing this function.

You will see the WARNING screen and message, and a choice to Confirm or Cancel the operation.
When Confirm is tapped/selected there are no undelete utilities to restore this data.
Once the Zeroize process has begun data cannot be recovered.
The Zeroize application has two modes of for resetting the MapSight unit:
Mode 1: Delete Applications and 'My Documents' data
The default option is to delete only the MapSight OS system and all
other data and applications BUT will leave data in the 'Storage'
folder, and optionally fitted SD Card, intact.
Tapping the [Confirm] button reset the MapSight unit to a factory
state but retains data in the Storage folder and on a fitted SD Card.
Tapping the [Cancel] button will close the Zeroize applet.
Mode 2: Clean All
Selecting the 'Zero Storage and SD Card Folders' checkbox will
delete all applications and data on the MapSight unit.
Tapping the [Confirm] button will reset the MapSight unit to a
factory state. This will also delete all contents of the \Storage folder
and any fitted SD Card.
Note: As this process deletes all data on a fitted SD card, a
Zeroize with 'Zero Storage and SD Card Folders' selected may
take some time depending on the size of the SD card
installed.
Tapping the [Cancel] button will close the Zeroize applet.
After Zeroize, MapSight OS must be re-installed to restore full MapSight functionality. Any
other applications that were previously installed on the MapSight unit must also then be
manually reinstalled to return that functionality.
