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.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Press the primary battery release on the mobile computer to partially eject the battery from the mobile
computer.
2. While the battery is partially released, simultaneously press and release the handle trigger and the Power
button.
3. Push the battery to fully re-insert it in the mobile computer. One audible click can be heard as the battery is
fully inserted.
4. The mobile computer initializes.
5. Calibrate the screen. See Calibrating the Screen on page 1-10 to calibrate the mobile computer screen.
Windows Mobile 5.0 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.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the mobile computer. The operating system and all applications are restarted. File storage
is preserved. The Real-Time-Clock (RTC) resets. Only perform a cold boot if 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.
