Resetting the Handheld Terminal
Reset and Full Reset (Memory Initialization)
Reset
Resetting the Handheld Terminal is the same as restarting a computer. Performing a reset
causes all unsaved inputs and edits to be lost, but data that is already stored in the
memory as well as all settings should be unaffected.
Use reset to restore normal operation whenever the Handheld Terminal operates
abnormally due to misoperation or some other reason.
Performing a Full Reset (Initialization)
Performing a full reset initializes memory. This means that all data stored in the memory
(RAM) is deleted and all the settings are returned to their initial factory defaults.
Perform a full reset whenever any one of the following conditions exists.
• When you want to delete all memory contents and return the settings to their initial
factory defaults.
• When you are no longer able to use the Handheld Terminal because you forgot your
password.
• When the Handheld Terminal does not operate normally due to a memory problem.
• When the message “A problem with memory contents has been found” is displayed.
To perform a reset
Press the reset switch on the back of the
Handheld Terminal with a pen or similar
object. This starts reset processing.
If reset does not find a memory problem
The Handheld Terminal restarts, and normal operation is restored.
