Resetting Your PDT 8100 Terminal

If your PDT 8100 terminal stops responding to input from buttons or the screen, reset it by
performing a warm or cold boot.

Performing a Warm Boot

A warm boot restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and entries.
Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
To perform a warm boot:

Performing a Cold Boot

A cold boot also restarts your PDT 8100 terminal, but erases all stored records and entries
that are not saved in the Flash File System. Therefore, never perform a cold boot unless a
warm boot does not solve your problem.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next ActiveSync operation. See the CRD 8100-
1000S Cradle Quick Reference Guide.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Remove the battery cover.
