Performing a Reset
If your PDT stops responding to input from buttons or the screen, reset it by performing a
soft or hard reset. Only perform a hard reset if a soft reset fails to clear the problem.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and entries.
Caution Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained. DO NOT perform a soft reset if the
terminal is suspended. Press the power button to wake the terminal.

 To perform a soft reset, press and keys while holding down either the left or
right scan trigger and then releasing the keys.
The unit resets, during which the display shows a startup screen.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset restarts your Portable Data Terminal terminal and erases all stored records
and entries, including any extra programs installed in the Main Memory such as the ILS
Inventory program. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not solve
your problem.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your computer during the next ActiveSync
operation.
Caution: With a hard reset, the current date and time, formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to
their factory default settings.
To perform a hard reset:
1 Remove the hand strap above the locking screw by sliding the end of the strap towards
the bottom of the unit.
