Battery Notices This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used. When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and backup battery. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe for up to 8 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the mobile computer uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. Battery Charge Notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 10°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten. ii About This Manual Storage and Safety Notice Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature. iii Table of Contents Preface About This Manual Regulatory Compliance Statements ............................................................................. i FCC Warning Statement.......................................................................................................... i Canadian Compliance Statement ............................................................................................ ii European Conformity Statement ............................................................................................. ii Battery Notices ...................................................................................................................... ii Battery Charge Notice ............................................................................................................. ii Storage and Safety Notice...................................................................................................... iii Chapter 1 Getting Started Introducing the PA968 .......................................................................................................

Chapter 5 Advanced Settings Performing a Hardware Reset You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., the device no longer responds to the buttons or tapping on the screen). A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This will restart your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may lost. Performing a Warm Boot 1. Remove the stylus from its holder. 2. Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located at the rear side of the terminal. Performing a Cold Boot A cold boot will erase all data and all programs you have added, and will restore the device to the default factory settings. Never perform a cold boot unless a warm boot does not correct your problem. When you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a storage card. 34 Chapter 5 Advanced Settings Method 1: From WinCE 1. Tap Start → Programs → Utilities → Bootmode. The BootMode Screen appears. 2. Tap Cold Boot. The system is reset and you will lose all data including all files in the RAM memory. Method 2: From Hardware 1. Remove the battery compartment cover and the main battery. See Installing the Battery on page 6. 2. Turn the backup battery switch off. 3. Turn the backup battery switch on. 4. Put the battery back into the battery compartment and replace the battery compartment cover. System will cold boot. NOTE: 35 When you perform hard reset, the data and time settings will not be retained. Formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to their default factory settings.
