Using the Recovery DVD

Contact Technical Support
The Recovery DVD is a method to restore the software on your Marathon to the same state it had when it was shipped from the
factory. When the Recovery DVD is used on your Marathon, it destroys any information on your hard disk so please make sure
that any information on the hard disk that needs to be preserved is backed up before using the Recovery DVD.
In order to use the Recovery DVD, the following components are needed:
A Marathon capable of booting from a USB mass storage device.
l
A USB DVD player.
l
A Recovery DVD suitable for your combination of OS, language and Marathon model.
l
An AC power source for the Marathon and the USB mass storage device.
