Performing a Cold Boot (DOS and Windows CE Terminals)

A cold boot restarts the terminal. In the Windows CE environment,

the registry and objects stored are reset to original settings.

To perform a cold boot, press and hold the PWR key for 15 seconds,

then release. On the DOS terminal, this value can be reconfigured

in Setup (see the Product Reference Guide for more information).

Performing a Hard Reset (Windows CE Terminals Only)

A hard reset also restarts the PDT 7500 Series terminal, but erases

all stored records and entries. Therefore, never perform a hard reset

unless a warm/cold boot does not solve your problem.

Note: On the Windows CE terminal, you can restore any data

previously synchronized with your computer during the

next ActiveSync operation. See the Quick Reference

Guide which came with your cradle, or the PDT 7500

Product Reference Guide for Windows CE for more in-

formation.

To perform a hard reset:

1. Remove the battery for 20 minutes or longer.

2. Replace the battery in the terminal.

3. The calibration screen displays.

Note: With a hard reset, formats preferences and other settings

are restored to their original factory defaults.

Calibrating the Screen (Windows CE Terminals Only)

The first time you start your PDT 7500 terminal (and whenever the

terminal is cold-booted), the calibration screen displays. This

section describes how to calibrate your terminal so the cursor on the

touch screen aligns with the tip of your stylus.

Note: If your terminal came loaded with another software ap-

plication, the calibration screen may not display.
