Power Key

Note:
The power key is located next to the <Diamond 2> key on the 32-key keypad. When a main
battery pack is inserted in the MX8 for the first time, the Power key must be pressed.

Reboot Sequences

When the Windows CE desktop is displayed or an application begins, the power up (or reboot)
sequence is complete. If you have previously saved your settings, they will be restored on warm
boot and cold boot. Application panel changes are saved when OK is tapped on an application
properties panel.

Suspend / Resume

Quickly tapping the Power key places the MX8 in Suspend mode. Quickly tapping the Power key
again, pressing any key, pressing the trigger (on the trigger handle), or tapping the touchscreen,
returns the MX8 from Suspend. The System LED blinks green when the video display is Off.

Warm Boot

Temporary data not saved is lost. All previous user control panel settings and changes are saved.
Warm boot is also called warm reset.
Hold down the Enter key and then the Power key until the screen blanks. Release the keys and the
MX8 warm boots.
Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type WARMBOOT. Tap the OK button
and the MX8 warm boots. This command is not case-sensitive.

Cold Boot

Temporary data not saved is lost. All programs are re-launched. Previously saved user settings are
restored. Cold boot is also called cold reset.
Hold down the Blue key, the Scan key and the Power key until the screen blanks. Release the
keys and the MX8 cold boots.
Tap Start | Run and, using the virtual keyboard or SIP, type COLDBOOT. Tap the OK button and
the MX8 cold boots. This command is not case-sensitive.
There may be small delays while the wireless client connects to the network, authorization for
Voxware-enabled applications complete, Wavelink Avalanche management of the MX8 startup
completes, and Bluetooth relationships establish or re-establish.
