Resetting the Falcon

Falcon

4400 Series with Windows Mobile

After Warm Reset

When a Falcon goes through the Warm Reset sequence, it clears the working

RAM and initializes the file system.

• The splash screen will appear after a short period.

•The

Today screen appears.

• The RF Network PC Card (if present) connects to the network system.

Hard Reset

A Hard Reset is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are

forcibly closed, working RAM is cleared, and the system time and date are

reset.

Reason to Hard Reset.

Perform a Hard Reset when the Windows Mobile

operating system locks up and you cannot reset a “hung” application using the

Settings or Warm Reset, as described above.

Procedure to Hard Reset.

To perform a Hard Reset, insert a paper clip

into the

<Reset> aperture while pressing the <POWER> button (refer to Figure

32).

The custom settings in the registry are persistent.

CAUTION

Once you initiate a Hard Reset, all applications are forcibly closed, working RAM

and files are cleared, and the Real Time clock is reset.

Any files or data in RAM will be lost if you Hard Reset.

Do not use a sharp object to perform a Hard Reset, as this can puncture the key-

pad, disabling the reset function, rupturing the Falcon industrial seal, and voiding

your warranty. Datalogic recommends using a straightened paper clip.
