Resetting the Terminal

There are several reset methods for the Falcon X4.

A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the
working RAM, but preserves the file system. The Registry is restored
from persistent memory if available or returned to factory default.

A cold boot forces all applications to close, completely reinitializing
the system. It clears the working RAM, but the file system is
preserved. The Registry is restored from persistent memory. 

A clean boot restores the Falcon X4 to a clean configuration: both
the Registry and the file system returns to a clean status that
conforms to factory default.

Warm Boot

To perform a warm boot, press and hold the following keys
simultaneously:

Cold Boot

To perform a cold boot, do the following steps:

1. Turn off the Falcon X4 by pressing the ON/OFF Power button.

2. Pull the battery latch down and remove the battery pack.

3. Simultaneously press the SCAN key and the Reset button in the

battery compartment.

4. Insert the battery pack.

5. Turn on the Falcon X4 by pressing the ON/OFF Power button.
