Reboot Sequences; Suspend / Resume; Cold Boot / Restart; Clean Boot / Reset - Honeywell MX8 Reference Manual

Reboot Sequences

When the Windows Mobile Today panel is displayed or an application begins, the power up sequence is complete. If you have
previously saved your settings, they will be restored on reboot. Application panel changes are saved when ok is tapped on an
application properties panel.
During the processes that follow there may be small delays while the wireless client connects to the network and Bluetooth
relationships establish or re-establish.

Suspend / Resume

Quickly tapping the Power key places the MX8 in Suspend mode. Quickly tapping the Power key again, pressing any key,
pressing the trigger (on the trigger handle), or tapping the touch screen, returns the MX8 from Suspend. The System LED blinks
green when the video display is Off.
or
Hold down the Power key and then the Enter key until the screen blanks. Release the keys and the MX8 resumes.

Cold Boot / Restart

Temporary data not saved is lost. All programs are re-launched, programs installed from CAB files are reinstalled. Previously
saved user settings are restored. Restart may also be called cold boot. Hold down the Blue key, the Scan key and the Power
key until the screen blanks. Release the keys and the MX8 cold boots.
Be sure to press the Scan key not the Enter key. Pressing the Enter key begins a suspend/resume function instead of a cold
boot function.

Clean Boot / Reset

Important -- Because of the extreme nature of resetting the MX8 to factory default settings, this process should only be used
as an emergency procedure and Suspend/Resume or cold boot should be used whenever necessary. When re-imaging, the
Mini-SD Flash card must be formatted as FAT16 and be less than 1GB.
To reset all MX8 configuration to factory defaults:
1. Hold down the Blue + Scan + Power keys at the same time. After the keypress, the display turns solid white. Be sure to
press the Scan key, not the Enter key.
2. Release the keys and immediately press and hold the Enter + Scan keys. After the keypress, the display turns dark. (If
these keys are not pressed immediately the MX8 performs a Cold Boot. Wait until the MX8 boots and try again.)
3. Release the Reset keys. A "returning to factory defaults" message is displayed at the bottom of the display. If the
message does not appear, please try again.
When all programs have finished loading, the Windows Mobile 6.1 Welcome screen is displayed. If prompted, tap the touch
screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device.
