2-6 Resetting the MX2
MX2 Reference Guide Revision A MX2A137REFGD
Note: If you do not hear the two tones indicating the safe-boot
sequence, you probably did not press the ESC and Space keys
quickly enough. Reboot the MX2 and press the two keys
simultaneously as soon as you see the “Wait…” message on
the display.
Hardware Reset
In the extremely rare situation where none of the rebooting methods is
successful, you can use a reset mechanism that is located below the
keypad matrix directly below the Lamp key.
By inserting a paper clip or other narrow device and pressing gently, the
unit will perform a hardware activated cold boot. Only use the same
amount of pressure used to press a normal key. Do not use a sharp
instrument. If the keypad rubber matrix is punctured, the industrial
specifications of the MX2 could be compromised.
Note: Attempt at least two cold boots before going into Hardware
reset.
Figure 2-3 Location of the Hardware Reset Mechanism
Upon reset, you will need to set the date and time in the MX2. These
DOS programs may run automatically after a Hardware Reset.
