Improper Shutdown Message

If the MC21XX stops responding, first perform a warm boot. A warm boot maintains radio status and registry
settings. Do not perform a cold boot unless necessary.

Performing a cold boot resets the MC21XX to factory defaults and loss of all registry settings.

To perform a warm boot, press and hold the Power button for five seconds.
