Restoring Power After Automatic Shutdown

The terminal shuts off if you don't use it for an amount of time set by your application. Press
the PWR key or pull the trigger to restore power and return to your application.

Power Off

To perform a normal power off, press the PWR key or let the terminal shut down
automatically as programmed. See your application guide or the section Restoring Power
After Automatic Shutdown for more information. Consult your system administrator if you
are unable to power off the terminal.

Forced Power Off

If pressing the PWR key does not turn off the terminal, force the power off to reduce battery
drain and preserve your data.
To force power off, press and hold the PWR key for 15 seconds, until the terminal powers
down.

Restarting After a Forced Power Off

When a terminal is powered off because of software or hardware failure, use the following
methods to restart:
Use the warm-boot procedure for a software failure.
!
When a warm boot fails, use the cold-boot procedure.
!
If a system software problem in the nonvolatile memory (NVM) occurs, see Chapter
!
3, Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup.
Note: Do not use the PWR key to restart a terminal when it was forced off
due to defective system or application software in the NVM. Pressing
the PWR key causes the program to resume where it stopped, trying
to perform the same unsuccessful operation.
