Husky FS Top Questions
 If the unit has been in
storage, you may need to do a hard reset:
- Install a fresh set of AA alkaline batteries.
- Hold both shift keys down and the power key for about 10
seconds. The shift keys are next the 'Yes' key. Some keyboard
layouts may differ slightly.
- Release all three keys and the unit should turn on.
- If the unit doesn't turn on, press and release the power key, and
then repeat the steps above.
- If the unit still won't turn on, it will need servicing.
After the unit reboots it
will need to be left on the charger or with good batteries fitted for at least
24 hours so that the internal backup battery has time to recharge.
 The serial number is located on the back of the unit
behind the backstrap:
- Lightly pry the backstrap plastic away from the case and slide it
towards the top of the machine.
- The serial number will begin with the numbers 49000 or 40000.
The UTiL.COM utility resides on the Husky FS/2 and FS/GS and allows the
end user to format the internal RAM disk. It may be necessary to use this utility
after a program crashes or if the RAM disk becomes corrupted because of an
extended power loss.
- UTIL.COM is not available in the FS/3 or MP2500. Use the MS-DOS
DELETE command to erase disk files. The system files are 'read only'
and cannot be deleted.

disk.
- Caution: Formatting will destroy all information on the RAM disk.
System files will remain intact.

Enter
