There are a few instances in which it is necessary to perform a full reset on a GPS Map 276cx, including the following:
- Not receiving a satellite signal
- Restoring the factory default settings
- Not functioning properly
The information and steps below will walk you through backing up your data and resetting.
Before Resetting
Performing a full reset can cause user data loss. User data is waypoints, routes, tracks, activities and geocaches.
It is recommended to back up important data with BaseCamp before resetting.
To perform the master reset, please follow these steps:
- With the device powered OFF, press and hold the Quit and Power button at the same time to power the device ON
- Continue to hold the Quit and Power button until a message asking "Do you really want to erase all user data?" appears
- Highlight Yes and press the Enter button
- The device will now restart and when it powers back on, it will be restored to the factory default settings
You will need to now work through our recommended setting guide re-entering all of our recommended settings into your GPS Device from the Setup Menu
