Hi Gerry, but more towards the list,
Yes. The intention was to prevent users from performing resets
unless if it becomes necessary to do it. But for those who need
a handy reference for these resets, here it is:
Usually soft (or warm) Reset (Reset button or C3 and C4 on PK)
restarts KeySoft (more towards the operating system itself).
Hard (or cold) Reset (Reset with DOTS 4-5-6 or JKL; Reset button
for Apex) restarts the hardware itself (not just the operating
system). The other resets are just a variation of these two.
The level of "consequences" - results of the resets is usually
warm reset, hard reset then variation of those two (Service
Reset, Clear Settings, etc.). The special case here is Reset
with DOTS 1-2-3 or FDS (I call it ROM Reset).
The Reset with DOTS 1-2-3 on the
models other than the Apex would be in the middle - between warm
and hard resets - as this reset does not load either: a newer
KeySoft version (for 5.1 or earlier, as Brandon notes) or
extensions (after 6.0). On the Apex, it is another story (I
don't want to go into details because it is too hard to
explain... sorry about that) - more severe than Hard Reset (no
more on that, please).
The Service Reset on the mPower (Reset and Record) goes further
than Hard Reset (not only it resets date and time settings) - it
also restarts various hardware - prominently battery.
The Clear Settings Reset (on the Apex) is a variation of Soft
Reset. Not only it restarts the operating system, it also clears
out user settings and reinitializes Flash Disk files (as if
KeySoft was being reinstalled).
As I always "cry out" with this kind of references: DON'T PERFORM
THEM AT WRONG TIMES!!! - otherwise you'll end up with lost data,
nonresponsive unit, things in between or a combination of many
things. As for a story behind my warnings, I think Alex Hall
would have a better say in things like th...
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. Even though there are things that citizens need to
know, there are other things that, when revealed, could bring
unintentional consequences...

That would be the "troubleshooting" appendix, correct? The name
might
effectively hide the fact that there are tidbits about resets for
some
folks.

re: [Braillenote] learning about the various resets on the Apex
Hi,
There is an Appendix (Appendix C) on the User Guide that talks
about various resets. Also, there is an article on my site that
talks about various resets for all models (not just Apex). Go to
braillenote.pbworks.com, go to Suppoqt Hotline, then go to
Exploring Resets link.
As for 1-2-3 reset, no more comments, please... (the pictures
that were present on the list archives should be sufficient).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] learning about the various resets on the
Apex
Where can I go to learn about the various resets--the hard reset
versus the soft and the 456 versus the 123? I have performed a
456 reset several times on my Apex and all it seems to do is
cause me to have to reset the speech settings, as well as the
clock. Does the 456 remove any applications? Thanks so much for
your information.
