Resetting the Terminal
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a
soft reset when the terminal fails to respond, after installing some software
applications. or after making changes to certain system settings, such as
network cards.
1. Press and hold the Red + ESC keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

defaults, and resets the terminal after a bootloader, keyboard, and kernel
upgrade.
A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM
installed applications.

power. To put the Dolphin terminal into suspend mode manually (before
removing the battery, for example), press the Blue + Backlight keys. To wake the
Dolphin terminal from suspend mode, press the Blue + Backlight keys or the
SCAN key.
