STEP 5: Perform a Clean Boot
A clean boot reverts the device to its factory default settings (or the latest service pack ROM update).
All installed programs, data and registry settings will be cleared, except those saved in the SoMo File
Store. A clean boot also drives the processor with a hardware reset, thus clearing all system states,
including the date and time.
To perform a clean boot:
1. Provide power to the SoMo using the AC adapter.
2. Press and hold three buttons, the Start Control button and F2 Configurable button (buttons closest to
the screen), and the Left Application button.
3. While holding the three buttons, use the tip of your stylus to lightly press and release the Reset button
on the back of your SoMo 655.
It is recommended that you hold the SoMo 655 upside-down in your left hand. Press and hold the
Start Control button and F2 Configurable button (buttons closest to the screen) with your left index and
middle finger and the Left Application Button with your left thumb. Hold the stylus in your right hand
to press and release the reset button.
CAUTION: A CLEAN BOOT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A WARM OR COLD BOOT. IT WILL
DELETE ALL USER APPLICATION FILES AND FOLDERS. WHEN YOU PERFORM A CLEAN BOOT,
FORMATS, PREFERENCES AND OTHER SETTINGS INCLUDING DATE AND TIME ARE RESTORED
TO THEIR FACTORY DEFAULTS. ALL DATA, RECORDS AND ENTRIES, EXCEPT THOSE STORED IN
ROM OR THE FILE STORE WILL BE ERASED.
If you set a security password on the SoMo 655 and forget it, a clean boot will remove the
password setting.
