# Reset Mode

The DAQ-A is constantly writing to disk when measuring from its sensors, so there is a chance that if it is interrupted during the write action it might corrupt the disk enough to keep it from loading. Not to worry, a quick reset is all it typically needs:

#### How to Enter Reset Mode:

1. Hold down the button of the DAQ-A and connect to power. Keep holding down the button.
2. The DAQ-A will boot up, you may see the button turn white, then red. Or no white and just red.
3. When you see the button turn blue, it will pulse for 10 seconds. Keep holding down the button.
4. After 10 seconds the button will briefly turn yellow during the reset.
5. When the reset is finished it will flash green and reboot. 
6. It should now start normally. If it doesn't please contact MAPIR support for assistance.
