5.2.3 First start
The first start is executed after a hard reset and cold start, or hard reset to state as
supplied (see 0), or after the battery is fully discharged, so that the RAM is empty.
Accordingly, the newly bought SIMpad SL4, after the battery is charged when it is first
switched on, does a "first start“. After a greeting (logo) with jingle, the configuration
programs (see 5.1.3) are started. The configuration parameters which are held in
them, and are entered in the registry, can then be stored in flash memory as a
precaution. For this purpose, the "Store settings" program (see 2.4.2) is called up, to
store the registry in the flash memory.
For a "first start“ where the configuration is already present, the configuration part is
skipped (see 5.2.4). This is particularly useful if the battery has been run down by
mistake or it has been necessary to trigger a hard reset.
5.2.4 Configuration programs
5.2.4.1 Touch calibration
The touch panel must be calibrated after a first start. This is necessary as the factory
touch point on the touch panel can easily be displaced compared to the screen.
For this purpose, the touch calibration control panel (see 5.4.13.13) is called up. It
instructs the user to select 5 positions, which are displayed with cross hairs, using the
pin.
5.2.4.2 Date/time
The user is requested to enter the current date and time. For this purpose, the
date/time control panel (see 5.4.13.5) is called up. setting
5.2.4.3 User data
The user can register his or her name and additional notes. For this purpose, the
owner control panel (see 5.4.13.2) is called up.
