How Often Should You Reboot ELO Devices

Why Reboot

Memory leaks from poorly optimized apps accumulate over time.
Rebooting refreshes system caches, applies pending updates, and restores idle temperature levels.

Recommended Frequency

Reboot once per week during off hours.
If running complex apps or large media playlists, reboot every two to three days.
ELOView allows scheduled reboots automatically.

Avoid Hard Power Cuts

Always use software restart or ELOView commands. Cutting power repeatedly can corrupt storage.
Pair displays with UPS units to handle short outages gracefully.

Signs You Need More Frequent Reboots

• App lag or delayed touch response

• Audio stutter or missing media frames

• Recurrent app crashes

If these symptoms appear midweek, shorten the reboot interval.

Final Thoughts

Regular restarts are preventive maintenance.
Treat reboots as a scheduled hygiene task. The payoff is longer uptime and smoother performance.
