Hardware Reset
In the extremely rare situation where none of the rebooting methods are
successful, all Falcon models have a reset switch or hole.
Table 7-4: Falcon Hardware Reset Method
Access the hardware reset for the Falcon models 33x or 34x through the small
hole at the bottom of the keypad. Insert a paper clip or like device and press
gently into the hole to perform a hardware activated cold boot.
If the two tones indicating the safe-boot sequence are not heard, the
<ESC>
and
<DEL>
keys were probably not pressed quickly enough. Reboot the Falcon and press
the two keys simultaneously, immediately upon seeing the “
Wait…
” message on the
display.
Attempt at least two cold boots before going into Hardware reset. Refer to
for
instructions on performing a cold boot.
