Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries that are not saved in
flash memory (Application and Platform folders) or a memory card. Never perform a cold boot unless a warm
boot does not solve the problem.
CAUTION Do not hold down any key, other than the Power button during a reset. Performing a cold
boot restores formats, preferences and other settings to the default settings.
NOTE Any data previously synchronized with a computer can be restored during the next
ActiveSync operation.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Devices
There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot.
•
A warm boot restarts the mobile computer and closes all running programs.
•
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer and closes all running programs but also resets the
Real-Time-Clock (RTC).
Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is not lost. Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the mobile
computer and saves all stored records and entries. If the mobile computer still does not respond, perform a cold
boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the mobile computer starts to perform a
warm boot release the Power button.
