Zeroize
This utility is designed to remove all user-installed programs, settings and data,
including all ikeGPS application-specific data from the ike unit in preparation for
reinstalling or upgrading the ikeOS Software.
WARNING!
Zeroizing your ike unit will remove all software and data from the
unit and render it unusable as an ike unit until ikeOS software is installed.
Please ensure you have backed up all important data (captured information,
personal data, software registration codes, etc.), and you have an appropriate
version of the ikeOS installation software before performing this function.
There are
no undelete utilities to restore this data
.
To Zeroize, select
Start > ikeUtilities > Zeroize
.
You will see the
WARNING
screen and message, and a choice to
Confirm
or
Cancel
the
operation.
When Confirm is tapped/selected there are no undelete utilities to restore this
data. Once the Zeroize process has begun data cannot be recovered.
The Zeroize application has two modes of for resetting the ike unit:
Mode 1: Delete Applications and
‘My Documents’ data
The default option is to delete only the ikeOS system and all
other data and
applications BUT will leave data in the ‘Storage’
folder, and optionally fitted SD Card, intact.
Tapping the [
Confirm
] button reset the ike unit to a factory state
but retains data in the Storage folder and on a fitted SD Card.
Tapping the [
Cancel
] button will close the Zeroize applet.
Mode 2: Clean All
Selecting the ‘Zero Storage and SD Card Folders’ checkbox will
delete all applications and data on the ike unit.
Tapping the [
Confirm
] button will reset the ike unit to a factory
state. This will also delete all contents of the \Storage folder and
any fitted SD Card.
As this process deletes all data on a fitted SD card, a
Zeroize with
‘Zero Storage and SD Card Folders’ selected
may take some time depending on the size of the SD
card installed.
Tapping the [
Cancel
] button will close the Zeroize applet.
After Zeroize, ikeOS must be re-installed to restore full ike functionality. Any other
applications that were previously installed on the ike unit must also then be manually
reinstalled to return that functionality.
