A soft reset (warm boot) restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and entries.
Caution: Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be retained.
DO NOT perform a soft reset if the terminal is suspended. Press the power button to wake the terminal.
6-key keypad: Press the Enter and Func keys while holding down either the left or right scan trigger and then releasing the eys.

A hard reset (cold boot) also restarts the terminal, but erases all stored records and entries. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not solve the problem.
