Point Mobile PM260 User Manual

☞NOTE:
Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory(mounted as
root directory) or on an optional SD card are not lost. However, the terminal automatically cold boots
when you install a fully charged battery pack, and you need will to reset the Real-Time Clock.
Charging
The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires 2 hours charge time to
backup RAM data for 24 hours. You can begin using the Handy Terminal after charging the main
battery for four or six hours (depending upon your battery); however, the internal backup battery
will continue to charge off the main battery.
To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply
for the first eight hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a
charging peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both.
4.22. Resetting the Terminal
Soft Reset: Using the stylus press and release the Reset button. This resets RAM and reloads the OS.
Hard Reset: Using the stylus press and hold the Reset button and then press and release the Power

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications,
reloads the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes any CAB or REG files in
\AutoInstall\Cabfile folder.

applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings, or 4) to
install new CAB or REG files.

approximately 10 seconds.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
CAUTION:
A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the
OS, resets the Real Time Clock(RTC) and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in
the \AutoInstall\Cabfile.
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files
present.
1. Press and hold the Reset button and then press and release the Power button. The screen turns
white and the decode and scan LED flashes red for approximately 20 seconds.
2. The terminal re-initializes, which re-installs all programs stored in the \Autoinstall\Cabfile folder.
☞NOTE:
