Rebooting your Clover Mini can resolve performance issues, software glitches, and temporary freezes that may occur during daily use. This guide shows you how to restart the device safely.

Tips & Best Practices
Check the network first: Sometimes connectivity issues make the device appear frozen. Confirm your Wi-Fi or wired connection before rebooting.
Check peripherals: If printers or scanners are connected, ensure they are powered and connected properly before rebooting.
Try again if needed: If the device doesn't respond after the first reboot, repeat the process once more before escalating.
