Resetting the Mobile Computer
Windows CE 5.0 Devices
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.
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.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices
There are three reset functions, warm boot, cold boot and clean 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).
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.
