4. Locate jumper J2. The 2-pin jumper should be across pins 2 and 3

for normal operation.

5. Change the 2-pin jumper to connect pins 1 and 2.

6. Follow the procedures on Page 4-3 to close the computer chassis.

To reset the Windows CE registry:

1. Apply power to the RAC6182 Computer.

The computer boots into a debug mode. This mode performs a more
extensive power-on self test (POST) procedure. It also reverts to the
factory stored Windows CE registry. Finally, it enables a debug
monitor output on COM2. The debug monitor is a Windows CE
development tool feature for product development or debug purposes
only.

2. After the RAC6182 Computer boots in debug mode, delete the

previous registry files. Open Windows Explorer from Start-
Programs-Windows Explorer or double-click the My Computer
desktop icon.

3. Open the \Storage Card folder. From the View menu, select Options.

Make sure the option is set to show all files.

4. Delete the following two files from \Storage Card folder:

Regbak.rlz

Registry.rlz

5. Disconnect power from the RAC6182 computer.

6. Follow the procedures on Page 4-2 to open the computer chassis.

7. Change the 2-pin jumper J2 back to connect pins 1 and 2 to restore

normal operation.

8. Follow the procedures on Page 4-3 to close the computer chassis.

9. On the next power-up, the RAC6182 Computer boots in normal

mode and uses the factory default registry information, stored in the
boot block flash memory.

The Regbak.rlz and Registry.rlz files will be recreated when an item
is changed that affects the registry, such as a Control Panel setting or
installation of an application program. Otherwise, the RAC6182
continues to use the factory default registry information.
