Starting the MC17 Series Mobile Computer
The mobile computer starts automatically as soon as power is applied; either with a charged battery installed or
when inserted into the cradle. If the mobile computer does not power on, perform a cold boot. See Performing
a Cold Boot on page 1-15.
When the mobile computer is powered on for the first time, it initializes its system. The splash screen (Figure
1-17) appears for a short period of time.

briefly hold a pointing instrument on the center of each target that appears on the screen. Repeat as the target

Launcher window appears.
