Preparing the Omnii for Operation
2.4 Preparing the Omnii for Operation
2.4.1 The Battery
The Omnii is powered by a Lithium-ion Smart Battery pack, 5000 mAh—Model ST3001.
Important: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guide-
lines in the Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide
(PN 8000191).
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully charged prior
to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking stations. For detailed information,
see “Battery Details” on page 21.
Replacing the Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery (see “Switching the Omnii
On and Off” on page 15). However, assuming the default power saving parameters
and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap time is a minimum
of 4 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time
frame.
Figure 2.6 Omnii Battery
Note: If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an uncharged
battery and use the device while the battery charges.
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, a battery
can be removed for up to 4 minutes without losing data. After 4 minutes the terminal may reboot.
Removing the Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
• Press the two buttons at the sides of the compartment simultaneously, and slide the battery out.
Installing the Battery Pack
• Slide the charged battery with the contoured plastic facing you into the unit with the contacts matching position and the guide tabs moving into the corresponding slots at the base of the compartment.
Click both sides of the battery into place.
• If your computer is equipped with a hand strap, re-attach the clip to the slot at the base of the battery.
• Switch the unit on (see “Switching the Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
Psion Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual

2.5 Switching the Omnii On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Omnii. If your keyboard has a power button (55- and 66-key keyboards only), press that instead of the [FN]+[Enter/Power] key combinations described.
Switching the Omnii On
• Press and hold down the [Enter/Power] key for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
Omnii is switched on from the suspend state, within a few seconds operation resumes in the screen in which
you were working prior to turning the computer off.
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion battery may be installed, or
the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 89 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below the
configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will
Switching the Omnii Off
• To switch off the Omnii, press the [FN] key and then press and release the [Enter/Power] button. The
Omnii will automatically enter the Suspend state.

screen, this key is locked “on” and the Omnii will not switch off. Press the [FN]
key twice followed by [Enter/Power] to switch the Omnii off.
However, if you’ve set the mode to “Lock” (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on
page 78), the Omnii can be turned off even when the [FN] key is locked ‘on’.
2.6 Resetting the Omnii
To perform a warm or cold reset, you can access the menu by going to Start>Shutdown. Alternatively you
can use the keyboard shortcuts described below.
Note: If your Desktop is switched to the PsionVU Shell (refer to “The PsionVU Desktop Shell” on
page 42), resetting the unit is done solely by use of the keyboard shortcuts.

Performing a Warm Reset
2.6.1 Performing a Warm Reset
During a warm reset, running programs are halted. The contents of the file system, RAM Disk, Flash Disk,
and the registry are preserved.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key and the [Enter/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of
four seconds.
Note: You need to reset your Omnii after configuring the radio by switching between Windows
Zero Config and WiFi Config.
2.6.2 Performing a Cold Reset
A cold reset reinitializes all hardware. All RAM including the RAM Disk is erased. Non-volatile storage such
as the Flash Disk is preserved, as is the file system.
To execute a cold reset:
• Press and hold down the [SYM] key, the [FN] key, and the [Enter/Power] key, simultaneously for a
minimum of four seconds.
Note: As part of the normal Windows Embedded CE cold boot process, the screen may go blank for
a few seconds after the splash screen loading bar reaches the end. The desktop is displayed
after a few moments.
2.6.3 Performing a Clean Start
A clean start returns the Omnii to factory settings, flushes the registry keys, and deletes volatile storage
and the file system. The Flash Disk is preserved.
• Press and hold down the [FN] key, the [Enter/Power] button and the [SCAN] key simultaneously for a
minimum of six seconds.
The Omnii displays the Boot to BooSt menu.
•On an alpha keyboard, type .clean.
•On a numeric keyboard, type .25326.
2.6.4 Boot to BooSt
If you choose Boot to BooSt, the BooSt menu is loaded.
•Press and hold down the [FN] key, the [Enter/Power] button and the [SCAN] key for a minimum of
four seconds.
•Press [1] to launch the OS.
2.6.5 Performing a Hard Reset
Important: This procedure is recommended as a last resort, when all other methods fail.
To execute a hard reset:
• Remove the battery.
• Using a coin, or other conductive item, connect pins 5 and 6 of the battery contacts for at least
six seconds.
• Replace the battery and power Omnii on. The terminal will boot as if from a cold reset.
