Rebooting the MC9190 -G

Windows CE 6.0 Devices

There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the MC9190-G by closing all running programs.

A cold boot also restarts the MC9190-G, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM. Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is not lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.

Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the MC9190-G and saves all stored records and entries. If the MC9190-G still does not respond, perform a cold boot.

Performing a Warm Boot

Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the MC9190-G starts to perform a warm boot release the Power button.

Performing a Cold Boot

A cold boot restarts the MC9190-G and erases all user stored records and entries that are not saved in flash memory (Application and Platform folders) or a memory card. Never perform a cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.

CAUTION Do not hold down any key, other than the Power button during a reset. Performing a cold boot restores formats, preferences and other settings to the default settings.

NOTE Any data previously synchronized with a computer can be restored during the next ActiveSync operation.

To perform a cold boot:

1. Press the primary battery release on the MC9190-G to partially eject the battery from the MC9190-G.
2. While the battery is partially released, simultaneously press and release the handle trigger and the Power button.
3. Push the battery to fully re-insert it in the MC9190-G. One audible click can be heard as the battery is fully inserted.
4. The MC9190-G initializes.
5. Calibrate the screen.

(RTC).
• A clean boot resets the MC9190-G to the factory default settings.
