Performing A Cold Start - Unitech MT380-A9WE0G User Manual

Performing a Cold Start

A Cold Start will erase all added data and programs, but it will restore the device to the default factory
settings. However, data and application programs stored in the Flash Storage will not delete.
Always perform a Warm Start before attempting to use a Cold Start to correct a problem. Data previ-
ously synchronized to the computer can be restored during a future Microsoft ActiveSync operation, or
data can be restored from a backup storage card.
Perform a Cold Start by using the BootMode utility in the operating system, or by pressing the Cold
Boot hardware reset button in the unit.
Perform a cold start in the following situations:
• Reset the operating system.
• Restore MT380 back to factory settings.
• Reset MT380 after a boot loader, keyboard and kernel upgrade.
CAUTION! A cold start erases all data and installed applications in RAM memory.
