Operating the MC31XX 2 - 23
Resetting the Mobile Computer
Windows CE 6.0 Devices
If the mobile computer stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot.
A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it
returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. If the mobile computer still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot:
1. Press the Power button for five seconds.
2. As the mobile computer initializes MC31XX Sample Applications window appears.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Never perform
a cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Simultaneously press and then release the 1, 9 and Power keys. Do not hold down any other keys or buttons.
As the mobile computer initializes, the splash window, Figure 1-10 on page 1-10, appears for about a minute.
2. Calibrate the touch screen. See Calibration Screen on page 1-10 to calibrate the mobile computer screen.
