Restore the settings of the EXPLORER 510
The EXPLORER 510 has a restore button that has three functions: To restore all settings to
factory settings, to restore WLAN settings only or to put the EXPLORER 510 into safe mode for
recovery software upload.
The restore button is located inside the small hole next to the SIM slot.
Do as follows:
1. Loosen the two screws holding the SIM cover.
2. Lift the cover.
3. Use a pointed device to push the restore button.
4. Close the cover and tighten the two screws carefully.
This is important in order to maintain the IP grade of the EXPLORER 510.
