Preferred Reset Method
This procedure is the recommended method in recovering the CK61. It
performs a graceful system shutdown and no data is lost in the process.
To recover the CK61
• Press and hold the power switch on the front of the CK61 for about 10
seconds.
Secondary Reset Method
If performing the recommended reset method does not restore system
operation, try using this method. It does not guarantee that cached disk
data is saved, and as such, transactional data may be lost during the reset.
All other data is preserved.
To press the reset button
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CK61, then remove the battery
pack from the back of the CK61.
2 With a stylus, press the reset button in the battery cavity in the back.
3 Press and hold the power switch as you put the battery back in.
Performing a Clean Boot
If performing either reset method fails to restore system operation, you may
have to perform a clean boot. This is a boot method which formats the
object store to clean data and registry information from the CK61 system
and restores them to their factory-default state.
To perform a clean boot
1 Press the power switch to suspend the CK61.
2 Remove the battery pack from the back of the CK61.
Press this reset button with your stylus.
Do not use force or a sharp object when pressing the reset button. You
may damage the reset button.
Note: This will erase the memory in the CK61, including all applications
and data files found in the object store (user store). See “Packaging
Applications for the Computer” on page 80 for more information.
