Factory reset: A full reset (level 3)

Reading time: 3 minutes

Experiencing glitches with your Sound Capsule? In this article, we cover how to do a factory rest.

Understanding the different types of resets:

There are three levels, or three methods, to perform reset of your Sound Capsule:

  1. Reboot: A gentle reset, similar rebooting a computer or smartphone.
  2. Shut Down: A deeper reset, equivalent to powering off your computer and restarting it.
  3. Factory Reset: Restores your Sound Capsule to its factory settings, as if it's brand new. Factory reset is what we'll focus on in this guide.

Have you tried rebooting or performed a shutdown of your Space Recorder first? If not, follow the links above and try that first.

Will I loose my recordings if I perform a factory reset?

Yes, you will. A factory reset erases all recordings stored on your Sound Capsule.

What to do before a factory reset?

  • Back Up recordings: Ensure all your recordings are uploaded to your Cloud account to prevent loss.
