Resetting the J Series
Windows CE
There are several reset methods for the J Series.
A warm boot terminates an unresponsive application and clears the working RAM,
but preserves both the file system and the registry.
A cold boot forces all applications to close and clears the working RAM and the files
not resident on the persistent flash memory. Registry is restored from persistent
memory if available or returned to factory default.
A Clean Boot restores the J Series to factory configuration: both the registry and the
file system return to factory default.
Warm Boot
A warm boot closes all applications and clears the working RAM, but preserves both
the file system and the registry. If an application hangs, initiate a warm boot to
terminate the application.
To perform a warm boot, press the following keys simultaneously:
Cold Boot
A cold boot is a complete reset of the J Series in which all applications are forcibly
closed and the RAM is completely cleared. Registry is restored from persistent
memory if a saved copy is available (see 3.8.2) and RAM file system is completely
erased. You will lose any applications and data (included registry) which are not
stored in persistent flash memory.
A cold boot is necessary when the Windows CE operating system locks up and the
warm boot command does not work.
To perform a cold boot, press and hold the following keys simultaneously:
Clean Boot
A clean boot is a cold boot that causes the device to be restored to factory
configuration. The J Series will reset to its factory configuration, clear the working
RAM and initialize the file system. You will lose any applications and data stored in
persistent flash memory. At the next startup the system will ask to recalibrate the
touch screen.
