Getting Started 2
To turn on the handheld when it is in Swap Battery mode, ensure that the battery is
correctly installed and then press the
Power key. The handheld is immediately ready
for operation. There may be a delay of up to 30 seconds while the integrated GNSS
receiver automatically reactivates.
The wireless radios will not automatically reactivate; use the Wireless Manager to
manually turn on the wireless radios.
Resetting the handheld
If the screen on the handheld is blank, the handheld has turned off. Press the Power
button to turn on the handheld.
If the handheld stops responding to the stylus, or if it does not respond when you press
any of the keypad buttons, you may need to reset it by performing a soft or hard reset.
You can also reset the handheld to its factory default settings by performing a factory
reset.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset is similar to restarting a
computer. A soft reset retains all
settings and device data that you have
previously saved on the handheld. The
handheld saves any unsaved data,
closes all open applications, and then
restarts.
To perform a soft reset, press the
Power key for one second until the
Power menu appears and then tap the
Reset button.
Performing a hard reset
A hard reset retains settings and data that you have previously saved on the handheld.
However, any unsaved data may be lost.
Note – Perform a hard reset only if a soft reset does not resolve the problem.
To perform a hard reset, press and hold the
Power key until the boot screen appears
and then release the
Power key.
