Resetting the Terminal

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)

You would perform a soft reset if the terminal fails to respond. The soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data.

1. Press and hold the Control (CTRL) and the Shift (SFT) keys for approximately five seconds.

2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets.

3. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory defaults, and resets the terminal after a bootloader,
keyboard, and kernel upgrade.

A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM installed applications.

1. Press and hold the Control (CTRL) and the Escape (ESC) keys for approximately five seconds.

2. The decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds.

3. The terminal re-initializes (see page 2-8 for details).

Suspend Mode

To put the Dolphin terminal into suspend mode manually, press and hold the POWER key. The terminal goes into suspend mode
automatically when the terminal is inactive for a programmed period of time. For more information, see

Power

on page

5-11.

To wake the Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, press the Power or SCAN key.

The Dolphin terminal also goes into suspend mode if you remove the main battery pack while the terminal is powered on. To
wake the Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, simply install a fully charged battery. The terminal powers on.

If the main battery and back-up battery are ever fully discharged of power, the terminal performs a hard reset when power
is restored. The terminal will be restored to its original state. All data stored in RAM memory will be lost.
