The Reset button (on the left side of the PinPoint X) has two functions. If it is
quickly depressed and released, the modem will simply power cycle the
internal hardware. If, however, the reset is depressed and held for several
seconds (count 10 slowly, and wait for the power light to go off after the light
pattern stops), the ALEOS configuration settings will return to the factory
defaults.
If you reset the modem configuration using the reset button,
Caution:
you may need to reactivate your PinPoint X with Verizon.
