Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot cuts off power to your device, erasing all records and entries, deleting all programs you
have added, and restoring the device to default factory settings.
Never perform a cold boot unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you perform your
next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer
or you can restore data that you backed up to a storage card.
You can perform a cold boot using the Boot Mode utility in the operating system, or by pressing the
Cold Boot hardware reset button in the PCMCIA bay.
Performing a Cold Boot using the Boot Mode Utility
1. Tap Start → Programs → Utilities → Boot Mode:
The BootMode screen opens.
2. Tap Cold Boot. The system is reset and you will lose all
data including all files in the RAM memory.
NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the date and
time settings are not be retained. Formats, pref-
erences, and other settings are restored to their
default factory settings.
