Resetting the Kyman™

Windows CE
There are several reset methods for the Kyman™.
A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the working RAM,
but preserves both the file system and the registry.
A cold boot forces all applications to close and clears working RAM and files not
resident on the persistent flash memory. Registry is restored from persistent memory
if available or returned to factory default.
A Clean Boot restores the Kyman™ to factory configuration: registry and file system
return to factory default.
Warm Boot
A warm boot closes all applications, clears the working RAM, but preserves the file
system and registry. If an application "hangs" initiate a warm boot to terminate the
application.
To perform a warm boot, press these keys simultaneously:
Cold Boot
A cold boot is a complete reset of the Kyman™ in which all applications are forcibly
closed and RAM is completely cleared. Registry is restored from persistent memory if
a saved copy is available (see 3.8.2) and RAM file system completely erased. You
will lose any applications and data (registry too) which are not stored in persistent
flash memory.
A cold boot is necessary when the Windows CE operating system locks up and the
warm boot command does not work.
To perform a cold boot, press these keys simultaneously:
Clean Boot
A clean boot is a cold boot that causes the device to be restored to factory
configuration. The Kyman™ will reset to its factory configuration, clear the working
RAM and initialize the file system. You will lose any applications and data stored in
persistent flash memory. At the next startup the system will ask to recalibrate the
touch screen.
