Cold Boot
A cold boot fully resets the system and clears memory, including the RAM disk. Any
programs and data stored in memory or on the RAM disk are deleted. Nonvolatile memory
(NVM — the Application EEPROM) is not affected. If the cold-boot procedure fails to restart
the terminal, refer to
Chapter 7, Error Recovery and Troubleshooting .

less they reside in NVM. Contents of RAM are lost.
