3) select "Shift4UTG" service and stop the service. *
4) click on the windows search button and type "stand"; the first option should be the UTG StandAlone program. Select to launch. **
5) Once the UTG service has been stopped the StandAlone service will launch and reboot device. 
6) confirm with site that the pinpad is rebooting. ***
7) Once pinpad has completed reboot have site run a transaction to verify communications are restored. 

*  IF the UTG  will not stop or is taking longer than 5 minutes. Go to Windows Task manager>Details tab> click on any process and then type the "u" key to jump to section with "UTG2.exe" process. Select the process and "End Task".

**if you get an Windows error saying that the service is already running; Vigilix template is set to automatically restart the service. You will need to go into the template for that station and turn the auto restart function off.
