4.20. Resetting the Terminal
There are three types of system resets: a Soft Reset, a Hard Reset, or a Factory Reset. The soft and
hard resets preserve all data stored in the file system.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications,
reloads the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes any CAB or REG files in
\AutoInstall\Cabfile folder.
You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software
applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings, or 4) to
install new CAB or REG files.
To perform a Soft Reset:
1. Press the Power button for 3 seconds and choose the SoftReset on the power menu.
2. When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
CAUTION: A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the
OS, and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the \AutoInstall\Cabfile.
ATTENTION:Une réinitialisation matérielle (hard reset) efface toutes les données et les applications stockées dans la
mémoire RAM du terminal. Elle charge à nouveau le système d'exploitation, et lance la procédure d’Autoinstall, qui installe
tous les fichiers CAB ou REG dans le répertoire \ AutoInstall \ CABFILE
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files
present.
To Perform a Hard Reset:
1. Press the Power button for 3 seconds and choose the Hard Reset on the power menu.
2. When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.
To perform a Hard Reset if the terminal has stopped responding, press and hold the Power button
for 8 seconds until the terminal starts to re-boot.
Factory Reset
CAUTION:To prevent data loss, back up all user data to an SD card or external memory
device before performing anupgrade or factory reset.
To Perform a Factory Reset:
1. Perform a Hard Reset
2. The terminal will reboot automatically and you will see first booting screen
3. Press “1277” when version information is displayed and then you will enter bootloader menu.
4. Press “12” to perform a factory reset.
5. When the clean boot is completed, do a touch calibration.
