Restoring Your Platform to Normal Operation


If you ever encounter major problems with your FTB-1 (for example, you cannot
start it) you can restore your unit to normal operation from the Maintenance and
recovery mode. For current updates, use Update Manager.
You can either revert your unit to its initial state (as it was when you purchased it)
or restore it with a specific Windows image (WIM) that could have been provided
to you by EXFO customer service, for example. If you want to use a WIM, ensure
that you have it close at hand (on a USB key for example) before proceeding to the
restoration.
For more information on how to restore your unit to normal operation, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of the online help or user guide of your FTB-1.

Cleaning the Touchscreen of Your FTB-1 Unit


Clean the touchscreen with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as one used for
cleaning reading glasses, dampened with water.

CAUTION
Using anything else than water can damage the special coating of
the touchscreen.
