Power Button Features
The power button turns the RuggedReader on and off and can perform
a number of additional useful tasks.
Turn Backlight on/off
1 second to manually toggle the backlight state. Note: Manually
turning the backlight off disables auto turn on with screen taps or
button presses until the backlight is manually turned back on or the
RuggedReader is turned off and back on.
Power Menu --
Hold down the power button
for about 3 seconds to bring up a screen with a
menu and a countdown in progress. Continuing
to hold the power button will cause a soft reset
when the countdown reaches zero. Releasing
the power button allows access to this menu.
Tap an option or press power again to exit.
Clean touch screen - Disables the touch screen.
After cleaning, press enter to enable touch screen and exit.
Align touch screen - Use a stylus to align the touch screen.
Soft reset - See the description below.
Exit - Takes you back to the previous screen.
Soft Reset --
A soft reset is comparable to rebooting your PC, which
stops all running programs. It is occasionally used when installing new
software.
To perform a soft reset, use the power menu or hold the power button
down for about eight to ten seconds. (The power menu may or may not
appear.)
Hard Reset --
A hard reset should be avoided if at all possible. It
should only be used if a soft reset fails to resolve an issue. Some
software programs store database information in RAM which would be
erased during a hard reset. So it is strongly recommended that you back
up your data before you perform a hard reset. See Backup and Restore.
To perform a hard reset, hold down the power button and application
button 1 (Start Menu) at the same time for about eight to ten seconds.
(The power menu may or may not appear.) When the message
"Booting - - - ->" appears in the display, release the buttons. If a
backup has been performed, the RuggedReader will prompt to restore.
