3.6 Resetting the PA-6230
If the PA-6230 stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot
and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the PA-6230 by closing all running programs. All data
that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the PA-6230, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In
addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default setting.
Perform a warm boot first. If the PA-6230 still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
3.6.1
Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot:
a. Press
“Reset ”.

hold down any other keys or buttons.
b.
The PA-6230 demo window appears.
Caution:
Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
3.6.2
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the PA-6230 and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM.
Only perform a cold boot if a warm boot does not solve the problem.
Caution:
Cold boot resets the PA-6230 to the default settings. All added applications and
all stored data are removed.
Do not
cold boot without support desk approval.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Press the “Reset ” and “Power
” keys together.
Do not
hold down any other keys
or buttons. As the PA-6230 initializes the Argox welcome screen appears for about a
minute.
2. Calibrate the touch screen. See instructions on calibrating the PA-6230 screen in chapter 3.
