Resetting the Terminal

There are two types of system resets: a soft and a hard reset.

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)

A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a soft reset when
• the terminal fails to respond.
• after installing some software applications.
• after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards.
1. Press and hold the CTRL + SFT keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory defaults, and resets the
terminal after a bootloader, keyboard, and kernel upgrade.
A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM installed applications!
1. Press and hold the CTRL + ESC keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds.
3. The terminal re-initializes; see Initialize the Mobile Computer on page 2-8.

Suspend Mode

The terminal goes into suspend mode automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed
period of time; see Power on page 6-11.
To put the Dolphin terminal into suspend mode manually, press and hold the Power key until the screen
goes blank.
To wake the Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, press the Power or SCAN key.
