Operating the MC1000 2 - 13
Resetting the Mobile Computer
If the mobile computer stops responding to input, reset it. There are two types of resets, warm boot and cold boot.
A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it
returns formats, preferences, and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the mobile computer and saves all stored records and entries. If the mobile
computer still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot, press and hold the Power button until a message appears to warm boot the mobile
computer. As the mobile computer initializes MC1000 desktop appears.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Never perform
a cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.
To perform a cold boot press and hold the Power for at least 15 seconds. As the mobile computer initializes its
Flash File system, the splash window appears for about 15 seconds.
