Software reset 

Keep F1, F4 keys being pressed then same with Power button for about one second 

will cause OS reboot (software reset). This action will not turn off system power 

but turn off the LCD screen (Power LED keeps on). During reboot time, Message 

LED will turn on till the system has been boot again. 

In the following circumstances, a soft reset is necessary: 

- When system is not working normally; 

- After finishing an installation of application or driver. 

After soft reset, applications and data in RAM will not lose, but all the applications 

that were activated before soft reset will be terminated to release the RAM. 

Soft reset will clear registry keys of driver in the RAM. To keep them, save registries 

every time when you add driver or applications. Refers to Quicksetting-Registry to 

learn more.
