3.8 Power Control
3.8.1 Reset Controls
Power ON Reset
In the condition that the power on the terminal is not supplied by AC adaptor and the battery pack
and the memory backup battery are not being installed (including the state that the capacity of the
battery pack has been discharged), this occurs if the battery pack is installed and then the power is
turned ON. All of memory - DRAM data storage memory (data saved by the user, database,
applications installed in the DRAM, etc.), program execution memory and memory used by
drivers - will be initialized (cleared). Data in the FROM will be maintained.
Reset
This occurs when the Reset switch is pressed while the terminal is operating (power ON status).
Care must be taken before performing the reset because if it takes place while operation continues
on the terminal, in-progress data and files being accessed may be corrupted.
If the Reset switch is pressed when the power is turned off, the power will be turned on and the
terminal starts up. Memory for executing DRAM programs and unsaved in-progress data will be
cleared, but data storage memory and data in the FROM will be maintained.
Full Reset
This occurs if the power key is held down at the same time and the Reset switch is pressed for a
period of one second or more while the terminal is in operation.
For the full reset, the following two different messages will appear to confirm whether or not it is
okay to continue the reset of operations.
To cancel the full reset operation, press the Trigger L key. Pressing the Trigger R key will cause
the message in Fig. 3.4 to appear. Pressing the Trigger R key at the second time will clear all data
in the memory (for data storage, working area for the OS and programs), and initialize the
memory.
