Resetting the Falcon
Quick Reference Guide 39
After Warm Reset

• The custom settings in the registry are persistent.

Cold Reset
A cold reset is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are forc-
ibly closed and working RAM is cleared.
Reason to Cold Reset. Press the <Reset> button when the Windows CE
operating system locks up and the warm reset command does not work.
Procedure to Cold Reset. To perform a cold reset, insert a paper clip
into the cold
<Reset> button while pressing the <Power> button (refer to Figure
26).
CAUTION
PSC recommends that you always attempt a warm reset before initiating a cold
reset. Once you initiate a cold reset, all applications are forcibly closed and work-
ing RAM and files are cleared.
Any applications, files, or data in RAM will be lost if you cold reset. Only the appli-
cations and the files in the FlashFX Disk are preserved upon a cold reset. Refer to
Flash Memory on page
34 for more information on preserving applications and
files with the persistent FlashFX storage memory.
Do not use a sharp object on the cold reset button as this can puncture the key-
pad, disabling the reset function, rupturing the Falcon industrial seal, and voiding
your warranty. PSC recommends using a straightened paper clip.
