SYNC 3 System Reset
The system has a System Reset feature that can be performed if the function of a SYNC 3 feature is lost. This reset is intended to restorefunctionality and will not erase any information previously stored in the system (such as paired devices, phonebook, call history, textmessages, or user settings). To perform a System Reset, press and hold the Seek Up (>>|) button while pressing and holding the RadioPower button. After approximately 5 seconds the screen will go black. Allow 1-2 minutes for the system reset to complete. You may thenresume using the SYNC 3 system.
