F.A.Q. - for NEO users:

- Why does the NEO not power on ?

Check if battery is charged well (otherwise blinking yellow LED). Finally try a warm, then a hard reset:
1. Soft/Warm reset: factory settings are retained, but any unsaved personal data is lost. Press and hold ENTER + FN/BLUE simultaneosly 4 seconds.
2. Hard/Cold reset: returns the unit to factory settings, all datas are lost ! - Press and hold ENTER + FN/BLUE + FN/ORANGE simultaneosly 4 seconds.
3. Booting in BooSt "systemmenue": Press and hold ENTER + FN/BLUE + SCANNER button left simultaneosly 4 seconds. After you can "clean start" unit, which resets the unit 100% to factory settings.
None of these reset-options erases OS system, so you will never be left with a non-working unit.
