Operating the PDT 6100 Series

Forcing Power Off

If a terminal freezes in the middle of operation and pressing 

<

> (

PWR

) does not power it 

off, you can force the system to power off, which reduces the drain on the batteries until you 
can download any collected data to the host system.

To force the system to power off, press and hold 

<

> (

PWR

) for 15-20 seconds.

Since the terminal is still frozen at this time, turning the power back on does not solve the 
problem. To recover the data held in memory, perform a Warm Boot (refer to 

Booting the 

Terminal

 on page 5-4).

Restarting After a Forced Power Off

If an operator is forced to power down a terminal because of defective software, the System 
Administrator should restart the system using the warm or cold boot procedures in the 
following section.

Note:

Do not use the power key to restart if the terminal was forced off due 
to defective system or application program software in NVM. 
Pressing 

<

> (

PWR

)

 only causes the program to resume where it left 

off, trying to perform the same unsuccessful operation.
