Resetting The Terminal

If the terminal stops responding to input from buttons or the screen, reset it by performing
a soft or hard reset (warm or cold boot).

Performing a Soft Reset

perform a soft reset press and hold the Power button (for approximately ten seconds) and
release it as soon as the screen changes and the terminal begins to reboot.
Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be retained.
