How do you reset the E18?

Can anyone help regarding an e18 from HTC One M9 connection problem?

Often when turning on the e18, connected with a decent otg USB cable, my HTC M9 phone plays up.

The phones screen lock button on the home bar and the external power button become unresponsive. The screen will lock if untouched automatically, tho I can't manually lock it myself.

What's going on and why is it happening?

Thank you e18 forum readers...

On the back of the unit, there is a pin hole on the lower left. It's labeled "reset"...

Yes, but it is better to use a toothpick.

Could you please explain why using a toothpick over using a pin is better?
 
My clumsy self would most likely break off a piece of the toothpick inside the hole...but if there's a reason that using toothpicks is better than I'll do that instead of trying to prevent myself from causing issues.
 
Thanks.

No I believe you should use a paperclip as it has more pressing power than a pin (unless its a thick pin) and wont snap in the hole lol.
I snapped a toothpick in a CD drive many years ago, never again.

Good to know that I'm not the only klutz out here.

What exactly does resetting do?  Is anything stored on the FiiO E18?

No it is a DAC/AMP it is used to power headphones, especally high end headphones with higher impedance/power requirements. It also sports a high end DAC chip (digital to analog convertor) which means that the sound quality that it reproduces is of higher and more "true to life" quality vs a lower quality DAC (found in most common devices even portable media players and most phones).
Infact the one in the E18 is one of the best ever made as its a high end TI Burr-Brown which have always been renowned for their quality.

I have the E18.  I was asking what exactly the using the pin to "reset" the E18 does, since I'm not aware that it stores any settings.

Ah alright, its probably just a disconnect from the internal battery or something incase there is a problem.

Perhaps it resets all of the digital logic to an initial state, in case something goes whack. If you really must know, contact FiiO and ask them.
