We continuously update the firmware to add new features and improve performance. Occasionally, the BUSY Bar may become unresponsive after an update. Most of the time, a normal restart will fix the issue. If not, you may need to perform a hard restart.

***

# Normal restart

If your BUSY Bar freezes and doesn’t respond to button presses, restart it:

- Press and hold the :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3StCFqarJkJQZV-7N79yY/9cerr6S5jJu3AvWCAOTer-20260316-105319.png" alt caption width="128" height="96"}** Start / Pause** and :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3StCFqarJkJQZV-7N79yY/D07ON6w4lkSzfD2t7BsJs-20260309-093629.png" alt caption width="110" height="110"}**Back** buttons for 3 seconds.
