# 11) Resetting the Solar

The Solar can be reset to restore normal operation in case of a problem or before a new use.

\
Two types of reset are available: a simple reset and a factory reset.

***

**Simple reset**

\
The simple reset allows you to force the instrument to restart.

To perform a simple reset:

* Press and hold the button for at least 30 seconds.

The Solar will then restart automatically.

This procedure is useful in case of operating or connection issues.

***

**Factory reset via Syride Link**

\
The Syride Link application allows you to perform a complete reset of the instrument.

To perform a factory reset:

* Connect the Solar to the Syride Link application (via Bluetooth or USB).
* Go to the “Instrument settings” menu.
* Open the “Troubleshooting” menu.
* Click on “Factory reset”.

This operation restores all the instrument’s default settings.

***

**Effects of the factory reset**

\
A factory reset:

* restores all default settings,
* deletes customized settings,
* deletes saved Bluetooth connections.

After a factory reset, it will be necessary to reconnect the Solar to your applications and reconfigure the desired settings.
