Resetting the Terminal

There are two ways to reset the Dolphin terminal: a soft reset and a hard reset.

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)

A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data.

You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings.

1.Press and hold Red + ESC for approximately 5 seconds. The screen turns white and the decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds.

2.When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes the ! terminal.

Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process.

1.Press and hold Red + TAB for approximately 5 seconds. The screen turns white and the decode and scan LEDs light for approximately three seconds.

2.The terminal re-initializes, which re-installs all programs stored in the \IPSM\Autoinstall folder.

Note: Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is accurate. Tap the date on the command bar to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.

Suspend Mode

Suspend mode suspends terminal operation. The terminal appears to be “off” when in suspend mode. The terminal is programmed to go into suspend mode automatically when inactive for a specified period of time. You can set this time period in the Power setting.

To Put the Terminal in Suspend Mode

Press the Blue + Backlight keys.

Note: You should always put the terminal in suspend mode when you change the battery pack; see Changing the Main Battery Pack on page 3-17.

To Resume Terminal Operation

To resume terminal operation (or “wake” the terminal from suspend mode),

Press the Blue + Backlight keys.

OR

Press the Scan key .

Troubleshooting Suspend/Resume

If the terminal does not wake when you press the Scan key, the main battery might be too low to resume operation. To check, remove the battery and install a fully charged battery or connect the terminal to a Dolphin charging peripheral.
