  • Tips and Suggestions for Factory Resetting Digital2 Tablets

    The following tips will help reset your D2 Android Tab to it's factory default state.

    • Make sure your device is fully charged. Losing power part way through resetting an Android device to a factory default state can leave your device in an unrecoverable state.
    • Back up your data. Any information on your D2 Tablet will be deleted when you perform a Factory Reset.
    • Do not plug in or unplug your device to any power or USB ports while you are performing a factory restore, unless you have been specifically instructed to do so by alternate instructions from Digital2.
