Warm Reset
A Warm Reset is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are
forcibly closed and working RAM is cleared.

Mobile operating system locks up and you cannot reset a “hung” application
using the

, as described above.
Procedure to Warm Reset

first two keys of the sequence can be pressed in any order, but the unit will not
reset until they both are held down and then the third key (
<Bksp>
or
<F1>
) is
pressed. All three keys must be held down for the unit to reset. Refer to Figure

CAUTION
Once you initiate a Clean Boot, all applications are forcibly closed and installed
applications and data are deleted. PSC recommends that you first attempt a Warm
Reset, then a Hard Reset, before initiating a Clean Boot.
DO NOT use a sharp object to reset. Sharp objects can puncture the keypad, disabling
the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and voiding your warranty.
PSC recommends using a straightened paper clip
