Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.7V Lithium Polymer battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset when you remove the main battery
pack. This backup battery retains RAM data and allows the real-time clock to remain operational for at
least 30 minutes. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than 30 minutes, the internal
backup battery discharges and needs to be recharged to function according to specifications.
Note: Even if the internal backup battery fails, data and programs stored in Flash memory (\\Honeywell\AutoInstall)
or on an optional SD card are not lost. However, the terminal automatically cold boots when you install a fully
charged battery pack, and you need will to reset the Real Time Clock.
Charging
The internal backup battery charges off the main battery pack and requires 2 hours charge time to backup
RAM data for 30 minutes. You can begin using the ScanPal 5100 terminal after charging the main battery
for four or six hours (depending upon your battery); however, the internal backup battery will continue to
charge off the main battery.
To ensure that the internal backup battery functions properly, maintain a consistent power supply for the
first eight hours of terminal operation. This power supply can be external power (using a charging
peripheral) or an installed, charged battery pack or a combination of both.
Resetting the Terminal
Soft Reset: Press and release the Reset button. This resets RAM and reloads the OS.
Hard Reset: Press and hold the
Reset button and then press and release the Power button. This resets RAM,
reloads the OS, and resets the Real Time Clock.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications, reloads
the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes the terminal.
You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software
applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings.
1. Press the Reset button. The screen turns white and the decode and scan LED flashes blue for
approximately three seconds.
2. When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the OS, resets the Real
Time Clock (RTC), launches Autoinstall, re-installs all programs stored in the \Honeywell\Autoinstall folder,
and re-initializes the terminal.
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files present.
1. Press and hold the Reset button and then press and release the Power button. The screen turns
white and the decode and scan LED flashes red for approximately three seconds.
2. The terminal re-initializes, which re-installs all programs stored in the \Honeywell\Autoinstall folder.
Note: Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is accurate. Select the date on
the command bar to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.
