Steps to Power Cycle the Asset 422:
Remove the Front Plate: Use the Philips #00 screwdriver to unscrew the four screws on the bottom of the device. Once the screws are removed, take off the front plate to access the internal components.
Turn Off the Device: Locate the power switch and flip it to the OFF position. This will cut the power to the device and prepare it for a reset.

Turn On the Device: Flip the power switch back to the ON position. This action will reboot the device.
Reset the Device: Press and hold the button located to the right of the SIM tray. Continue holding the button until the device vibrates and both a blue and green LED light up, indicating that the reset is complete and the device is powering up.
Reassemble the Device: Once the device is confirmed to be on, replace the front plate and screw it back into place. Ensure that all screws are securely fastened.
Reinsert the Plugs: After reassembling the device, reinsert any plugs that were removed during the process.
Place the Device: For optimal signal reception, take the device out or place it in an open area with a clear view of the sky.
