Resetting The Reader; Performing A Warm Boot - Motorola RD5000 Integrator Manual

Getting Started 1 - 15

Resetting the Reader

If the reader stops responding, reset it. There are two reset functions; warm boot and cold boot.
A warm boot restarts the reader by closing all running programs.
A cold boot also restarts the reader, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM. Data saved in flash memory
is not lost. In addition, it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the reader and saves all stored records and entries. If the reader still does
not respond, perform a cold boot.

Performing a Warm Boot

Hold down the Power button (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2) for approximately five seconds. As soon as the reader
battery LED turns off release the Power button. As the RD5000 starts to perform a warm boot it beeps twice.
