To reset the Sokkia GRX3 GPS receiver, you can perform either a hardware reset or a factory reset:

Hardware Reset:
1. Make sure the receiver is powered on.
2. Press the Reset button located under the SIM card door.
3. This does not delete stored “*.tps” data files.

Factory Reset (using SRU software):
1. Connect the receiver to a computer and open SRU.
2. Click Device > Application Mode > Receiver Managing.
3. Click Device > Connect and then click the Connect button.
4. Click the Tools icon, then select Factory Reset.
5. Confirm by clicking Yes when prompted.

Factory Reset (using LED Display):
1. Press and hold the Power button for 10–15 seconds.
2. Release when the STAT LED turns magenta.
3. Wait for the STAT and REC LEDs to blink orange, then turn green.

These steps fully reset the GRX3 receiver.
