# Performing Factory Reset

The I/O Hub 8-PS can be reverted back to its original factory settings.

All settings, configurations and historical data will be deleted when the device is reset. Only perform a factory reset when you are completely sure that this course of action is required.

To prevent the ARGEE program from being deleted when the device is reset, make sure that the program is locked.

1. In the I/O Hub Settings home menu, select the required device.

2. Select Actions > Factory reset.

3. A dialog box will appear. Confirm the reset by selecting Yes.

4. Wait 5 seconds before selecting Search in the I/O Hub Settings home menu.
