Performing A Hard Reset - Symbol SPT 1550 Product Reference Manual

To perform a soft reset, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a
sharp tip) to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your SPT
1500 terminal.

Performing a Hard Reset

A hard reset tells your SPT 1550 terminal to start over again and erase all records and
entries stored in your SPT 1550 terminal. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a
soft reset does not solve your problem.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next HotSync operation.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Hold down the green power button on the front panel of the SPT 1500 terminal.
2. While holding down the power button, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or
similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button.
3. Release the power button.
4. When a message displays on the SPT 1550 terminal screen warning that you are
about to erase all the data stored on your SPT 1550 terminal, do one of the
following:
• Press the upper half of either of the scroll buttons on the front panel of the SPT
1550 terminal to complete the hard reset and display the Digitizer screen.
• Press any other button to perform a soft reset.
Note: With a hard reset, the current date and time are retained. Formats,
Preferences and other settings are restored to their factory default
settings.
