•  Reset — If it is necessary to reset the Annotator, select this to open a secondary drop-
down box. Two options are available: Reset to Factory Defaults and Reset to Absolute 
Defaults Except IP Settings. 
•  Reset to Factory Defaults resets all settings on the device to their factory 
defaults, including all video and audio settings, and clears all configuration files 
from the device.
•  Reset to Absolute Defaults Except IP Settings resets all setting on the device 
to their defaults, including all captured images and the customized On Screen 
Display. IP settings are not reset.
  Select either option as desired.
•  Update Firmware... — Selecting this opens the 
Firmware Loader application (where already installed 
on a connected PC). The Firmware Loader uploads new 
firmware to the device, through a serial port or TCP/IP 
connection.
In order for the Update Firmware function to work, the 
Firmware Loader application must be installed on the 
connected PC. 
If already installed, skip steps 1 through 4.
