Security Question?

Does a reset on the base of the unit delete any custom splash screens. If not then you could put your contact details if it was lost or stolen as start up. If the reset wipes it then pretty pointless!!

Good idea. I do not believe that a reset changes anything. (I don't know if RESETTING to defaults (it's in a menu somewhere) would reset the splash screen either.

You can put your contact details in the unit itself without putting it on the splash screen. You can also set a password so that it won't work when fired up unless the password is entered.

personally I think this is more useful because if it was stolen, at least the thief would be frustrated.

The splash screen idea is a good one though as it takes some searching to find the other option.

there'd be no way for it to replace the splash screen to default as long as you name the custom one correctly. deleting the original one would make it double sure.

I did set a password and it was there for a few days and then disappeared. There is an option in the menus to delete the password and I didn't do that, but it still disappeared. strange.

Perhaps I had a senior moment and deleted it while fumbling through the menus.

I believe the reset acts just like the reset would on your PC.
