Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the vehicle computer, but erases all stored records
and entries in RAM. Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is not
lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the
factory default settings. There are two ways to perform a cold boot:
Simultaneously press and hold the Power, P1 and P3 buttons.
Turn off the Main Power switch on the top of the vehicle computer,
then turn it on again, and then press the Power button.
Programmable Keys
The programmable keys on the front panel (P1, P2, P3) can be set to
perform certain functions, such as switching between applications or
emulator sessions.
To set a programmable key:
1. From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel.
2. Select the Programmable Keys icon.
3. In the Key: drop-down list, select the key you would like to program.
4. In the Action drop-down list, select the function to assign to the key to
perform.
