3.3.1 Resetting the Joya™
There are two reset methods for the Joya™.
A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the working
RAM, but preserves both the file system and the registry.
A cold boot forces all applications to close and clears working RAM and files not
resident on the persistent flash memory. Registry is restored from persistent
memory if available or returned to factory default.
WARM BOOT
A warm boot closes all applications, clears the working RAM, but preserves the
file system and registry. If an application "hangs" initiate a warm boot to
terminate the application.
To perform a warm boot, press these keys simultaneously for 5 seconds:
“ + ” & “ - “
COLD BOOT
A cold boot is a complete reset of the Joya™ in which all applications are
forcibly closed and RAM is completely cleared. Registry is restored from
persistent memory if a saved copy is available (see 3.6.1) and RAM file system
completely erased. You will lose any applications and data (registry too) which
are not stored in persistent flash memory.
A cold boot is necessary when the Windows CE operating system locks up and
the warm boot command does not work.
To perform a cold boot, lightly press with a metallic clip inside the circle hole on
the back.

CAUTION
Before performing a reset, it is recommended to:
- execute a system backup to keep your more important
files and applications persistent. See par. 3.8;
- save the registry to non-volatile memory to guarantee
the persistence of the Windows configuration. See par.
