Once inside we must move to the entrance <strong>Initialization<\/strong>, placed last. Three basic options will appear inside:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear machine learning dictionary<\/li>\n<li>Restore default settings<\/li>\n<li>Initialize PS4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first option only deletes our most common writing words.
