Page 17 11/30/2006
Chapter 5 Resetting SmartCompact
Resetting means closing all applications and refreshing RAM (Random Access memory)
This is done in two ways:
5.1 Warm Reset
If handheld hangs in between and stops responding, please perform warm reset.
In order to perform warm reset, press (one touch) software reset button till handheld starts
rebooting. Warm reset restarts the handheld by closing all the running programs. Always try warm
reset first, if handheld do not respond, then try cold reset. The data which is not saved will be
deleted and the saved data will remain in the appropriate directory.
5.2 Cold Reset
A cold reset clears the entire contents of RAM, including programs and data loaded in the Object
Store (system memory). But the data on the “Disk on chip” will remain as it is, so it is necessary to
store the important applications on “Disk on chip” before cold reset. The memory capacity of “Disk
on chip” is 60MByte.
The operating system is reloaded and any applications set up for automatic installation are
reinstalled. Cold reset is only recommended when all other procedures fail and SmartCompact
stops working.
Follow the instructions below for the cold reset
Method 1
Press and hold functio n key (front panel), and then press software reset key (rear panel)
simultaneously, till handheld starts rebooting.
Method 2
1 Release the lower clip of the hand strap.
2 Remove the battery pack.
3 Slid backup battery switch down and then again up to reset backup battery.
4 Reinstall the battery pack.
Following screen shots shows the cold reset functioning.
