Resetting the Mobile Computer
If the mobile computer stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot
and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all running programs.
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM. Data
saved in flash memory or a memory card is not lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and
other settings to the factory default settings.
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.
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.
Do not hold down any key, button or the trigger, other than the Power button
during a reset. Performing a cold boot restores formats, preferences and other
settings to the default settings.
Any data previously synchronized with a computer can be restored during the
next ActiveSync operation. See
ActiveSync instructions.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Press the primary battery release(s) on the mobile computer (see
on
page
1-11) to partially eject the battery from the mobile computer.
2. While the battery is partially released, press and hold the Power button and push the
battery to fully re-insert it in the mobile computer. One audible click can be heard as the
battery is fully inserted.
3. Continue to hold the Power button for approximately 15 - 17 seconds.
As the unit cycles into a cold boot, }}} appears in the upper left corner of the display window,
followed by the message ...Booting System.... .
