WARNING - Your device is protected to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings.
To ensure that it's really you doing the reset, you'll need to enter a Google username and password associated
with the device after factory reset. If you don't have this information, you won't be able to finish the setup
process and use the device at all after factory reset.
Erasing your data may take some time, so make sure that you plug your device into a power source
before you start.
1. Open the Settings app .
2. Tap System, then tap Advanced.
3. Tap Reset options, and then tap the reset option you want to use: Reset Wi-Fi, mobile &
Bluetooth, Reset app preferences, or Erase all data (factory reset).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for the option you selected. You may need to enter your
unlock pattern, PIN, or password.
5. When the device has finished erasing, select the option to reboot your device. If you have a

TODO - Add Android update info for Trimble OS updates and Google security updates…..
Android is much different than W10. The Windows 10 operating system periodically checks for updates so
you don’t have to. When an update is available, it is automatically downloaded and installed — keeping
your device up-to-date with the latest features.
Installing the latest updates can help fix common issues, but you must be online to download the updates.
If you are having trouble connecting and downloading updates because your wireless network is too slow,
you can try using a wired network via the Desktop Hub accessory.
Once online, to check for and install the latest updates manually, go to Settings / Update & security /
Windows Update, and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you
have all the updates that are currently available.
Trimble recommends that you keep the Windows operating system updated. This reduces your
vulnerability to cyber attacks, and helps to improve the Windows operating system. You can configure the
settings to prevent downloads and restarts in field; go to Settings / Update & Security / Windows Update /
Update Settings.
For more information about Windows updates, refer to the official Windows Update: FAQ on
www.microsoft.com.
