    Default Does factory reset erase truelock locations?

    I have noticed after doing a factory reset that some of my truelock locations are not stored anymore. Is this caused my the reset..I notice that when I go by the previously locked out locations the gps signal isn't even spinning.

    I experienced the same thing with my 9500i. I had set every red light camera in my city I live in and later decided to reset the 9500i cuz I wanted to find out if it would display the firmware version. I found out that it won't display the version when resetting. Anyways, as I travel through some red light cameras and it never alerted me. Some did and others didn't. I probably lost about half of my locations. I had to reprogram them into the memory again. It sucked!

    Well, since I currently still have the latest Bel and Escort RDs which were sent to SML for testing, I will have to test the latest SML 9500i compared to my 9500i for this. My roughly 9 months old 9500i does NOT erase any locked out or marked locations when I do a factory reset. Likewise, several months ago I was told by an Escort rep that my saved lockout and marked locations could only be cleared by either sending my 9500i in or by going to each location and manually unlocking the locked out location or clearing the marked location. Yet you guys are obviously saying that now, apparently with a later firmware rev, a reset does clear this stuff.

    Yea! Yet another new test which I can perform! Please remind me to do this test if I don't post test results in a few days in case I have forgotten to to this test.
