CS40 Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Resetting the Computer
You rarely need to reset the computer. If the computer does not
resume after pressing the
Power
button, or if the computer or an
application locks up, you may need to reset the computer. The
computer uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory
during the boot process. There are three ways to reset the computer:
•
Warm booting the computer
•
Cold booting the computer
•
Clean booting the computer
Warm Booting the Computer
You may need to perform a warm boot to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system. There are two ways to do
this:
To warm boot the computer:
1
Tap
Start > Programs > Shut Down
.
Or, scan this bar code.
The computer systematically shuts down.
2
Press the
Power
button to restart the computer. If the computer is
connected to an external power supply, it automatically restarts.
Cold Booting the Computer
In some cases where the computer completely stops responding, you
may need to perform a cold boot. Cold booting may result in data loss,
so use this method only if all other recovery methods have failed.
Note:
Cold booting the computer does not guarantee that cached disk
data will be saved, so transactional data may be lost during the reset.
All other data, such as computer configuration and network settings,
is preserved.
