drain and preserve your data.
To force power off, press and hold the PWR key for 15 seconds, until the terminal powers
down.
Restarting After a Forced Power Off
When a terminal is powered off because of software or hardware failure, use the following
methods to restart:

!
When a warm boot fails, use the cold-boot procedure.

If a system software problem in the nonvolatile memory (NVM) occurs, see
Chapter 3, Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup.
Note: Do not use the PWR key to restart a terminal when it was forced off
due to defective system or application software in the NVM. Pressing
the PWR key causes the program to resume where it stopped, trying
to perform the same unsuccessful operation.
