Erasing a 3-4 year old VX5200
I have a VX5200 that's about 3 or 4 years old. I want to erase everything so I can give it away. The suggestion I saw on fixya.com doesn't work because there doesn't seem to be the same menu items on mine. Please advise. Thank you.

- Click OK/Menu
- Click right twice to get to the Settings and Tools Menu
- Click down until you get to the System (this is 5 on a 5200)
- Click down until you get to the Security (this is also 5 on a 5200)
- Enter your lock code. If you have not customized it, this is the last for digits of your phone number.
- Click Reset Default
- You’ll see a message that says “Reset Default: Preference settings will be set to factory defaults. Press OK to continue.” You know what to do here…
I’ve not done this on my phone. I like my settings. But I’m told that this will NOT remove the custom rings you have uploaded on your phone AND there is a seperate menu item for deleting contacts. So, I don’t think it will remove your contact information either BUT I cannot guarantee this. Choosing this option MIGHT remove all of those settings.If someone reading this follows these instructions, please let me know, in a comment, what is cleared and what is not.
Above the option to reset to factory settings, there is an option to erase contacts. That should clear the contact list.
