Clean Boot

A Clean Boot is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are
forcibly closed and the Falcon is restored to factory defaults. ALL USER-
INSTALLED PROGRAMS, DATA AND REGISTRY SETTINGS ON
THE DISK WILL BE ERASED.

Reason to perform a Clean Boot.

Use Clean Boot if the Windows

Mobile operating system locks up and the Hard Reset command does not
work.

Procedure to perform a Clean Boot.

The procedure is the same for

all keyboards. To perform a Clean Boot:

1. Insert a paper clip into the

aperture while pressing

(refer to Figure

32

).

The Splash screen will appear after you remove the reset pin from the
hole.

2. Press and hold

and

0

(zero) on the Falcon keypad until the unit

beeps.

CAUTION

Once you initiate a Clean Boot, all applications are forcibly closed and installed
applications and data are deleted. PSC recommends that you first attempt a Warm
Reset, then a Hard Reset, before initiating a Clean Boot.

DO NOT use a sharp object to reset. Sharp objects can puncture the keypad, disabling
the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and voiding your warranty.
