Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the terminal. In the Windows CE .NET environment, the working
registry is replaced by the latest saved copy of the registry. All information in DRAM is
discarded (data in Flash is maintained).
There are two ways to perform a cold boot:
•
Press and hold the Suspend Button until the Release for Cold Boot message
appears (15 seconds).
•
Turn off the Power Switch on the back of the terminal, then turn it on again, and
then press the Suspend button.
Methods of Suspension
Terminal operation can be suspended in four ways:
•
Manual suspension: the operator presses the Suspend button when the terminal
is on, or taps Start, then presses the Suspend button.
•
Program-dependent suspension: the application requests a suspend via an API
call.
•
Critical suspension: the power supply is removed.
