This document covers problems a user may encounter using the Motorola MC3090-Z.

Completing a Warm Boot

A warm boot should be the first step in trying to resolve a

problem with the scanner.

To complete a warm boot for the MC3090-Z, follow the

steps below:

1. Hold in the Power button for at least five seconds.

2. As soon as the scanner begins to boot let go of the

Power button.

Completing a Cold Boot

A cold boot completely restarts the scanner and restores it

to the way it was when it was shipped from WinWare.

Information that has not been saved to flash memory or a

memory card will be lost. A cold boot should only be tried if

a warm boot does not resolve the issue.

IMPORTANT: A cold boot will reset the scanner to its

default settings. However, if you have synced the scanner

with your computer, you can retrieve your data the next

time you sync.
