3.6 Resetting the PA-60
If the PA-60 stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and
cold boot. A warm boot restarts the PA-60 by closing all running programs. All data that is not
saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the PA-60, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In
addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default setting.
Perform a warm boot first. If the PA-60 still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
3.6.1 Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot:
a. Press “Reset ”. Do not hold down any other keys or buttons.
b. The PA-60 demo window appears.
Caution:
Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
3.6.2 Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the PA-60 and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Only
perform a cold boot if a warm boot does not solve the problem.
Caution:
Cold boot resets the PA-60 to the default settings. All added applications and all
stored data are removed. Do not cold boot without support desk approval.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Press the “Reset ” and “Power ” keys together. Do not hold down any other keys
or buttons. As the PA-60 initializes the Argox welcome screen appears for about a minute.
2. Calibrate the touch screen. See instructions on calibrating the PA-60 screen in chapter 3.
