Resetting the CK3

You seldom need to reset the CK3. However, you do need to reset the CK3 when an application is locked up and does not respond, when you upgrade the firmware, or when you reflash the CK3. The CK3 uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the reset process.

There are three ways to reset the CK3:

 

 

Warm Booting the CK3

If your CK3 has a charged battery installed but does not resume after you press the Power key, or if the computer or an application is locked up, you may need to warm boot the CK3.

To warm boot your CK3:

  1. Press and hold (the yellow power button) for 5 seconds.

OR

From the Smart Systems console, right-click the CK3 and select INTERMEC POWER TOOLS | WARM BOOT DEVICE.

The CK3 shuts down, restarts, and goes through the initialisation process.

 

 

Cold Booting the CK3

If the CK3 or application is locked up and does not respond to a warm boot, follow this procedure to perform a cold boot.

 

Warning

Performing a cold boot may result in data loss. When you cold boot the CK3, cached disk data may not be saved, so transactional data may be lost.

To cold boot your CK3:

  1. Remove the battery.
  2. Use the stylus to press the reset button in the battery compartment of the CK3.
  3. Replace the battery.

 

Clean Booting the CK3

If the CK3 does not warm boot or cold boot, you may need to perform a clean boot. When you clean boot the CK3, the CK3 only loads files and applications that are absolutely required by the operating system. Perform a clean boot to get the CK3 up and running so that you can run diagnostic tests to troubleshoot the normal boot process.

 

Warning

The clean boot process erases the CK3 memory, including all applications and data files in the object store.

To clean boot your CK3:

  1. Remove the battery.
  2. Use the stylus to press the reset button in the battery compartment of the CK3.
  3. Press and hold (the yellow power button) as you replace the battery.
  4. Continue to hold (the yellow power button) until the “Clean boot the system?” prompt appears on screen.
  5. Release (the yellow power button), read the message, and press the appropriate button to either proceed with the clean boot or cancel the clean boot.

 

Technical Tip

You can also clean boot your CK3 from the Smart Systems console: right-click the CK3 and select INTERMEC POWER TOOLS.
