If the Orbit Reader 20 Plus suddenly does not respond to button presses, and
you know that the battery is not fully discharged, then you may try rebooting the
device by pressing the lower Right Panning key + Dot 8. There is no indication of
the reset event. The unit is in power-off condition after reset and needs to be
powered on before it can be used.

23 Device Upgrade Procedure

New versions of the firmware for the Orbit Reader 20 Plus are released from time
to time, containing improvements, bug fixes, and new features. This section
describes the procedure for updating the Orbit Reader 20 Plus firmware.
There are two ways to upgrade the firmware of the Orbit Reader 20 Plus: either
using a Windows PC and a USB cable or using an SD card containing the update
