Power options

Pressing the power button, will give you three options; Desktop, Reboot, and Shutdown. Each of these are discussed below.

Desktop

The desktop option will close the kiosk application and take you to the desktop, leaving the device running the kiosk on. This is useful when you wish to open a different application (for example, you are running the kiosk software on a Point of Sale and wish to switch to the Point of Sale application).

Depending on your kiosk’s configuration, you may or may not be required to enter a desktop password. The desktop password is designed to stop unauthorised users accessing the desktop of the PC. If an onscreen keypad is displayed, you will need to enter the correct password before being able to press the ‘Desktop’ button.

*If configured, the desktop password will have been given to the admins of the system. If you are an admin and require the password, please contact support.

Reboot

Pressing Reboot will close the kiosk application and immediately reboot the device. When the device turns back on, the kiosk software will automatically start back up.

*If the kiosk software is running on a Point of Sale device, the automatic startup of the application may be disabled, in which case you will need to start the application manually.

Shutdown

Pressing the Shutdown button will close the kiosk application and immediately shut down the device.

!When using the shut down option, you will require access to the power button. This button may require a key to be accessed.
