Hard Reset
A hard reset is designed to clear all processor states, running programs, and user data. It also drives the
hardware reset line to the processor, thereby clearing all system states, including the date and time. This
reset should be used to remove the operating system from a “hung” or “frozen” state because of a fatal
program or operating system error.
A hard reset will clear all user-installed settings, applications, and data from RAM (Random Access Memory),
but any applications or configurations saved in the SoMo File Store will remain. It is useful for clearing some
states that are not normally cleared with a Soft Reset
To perform a hard reset:
1. With the SoMo upside-down in your right hand, press and hold the Start Control button and F2 Configurable
button.
2. While holding the two buttons, use the tip of your stylus to lightly press and release the Reset button inside
the hole on the back of your SoMo 655.
3. Release the Start Control button and F2 Configurable buttons.
It is recommended that you hold the SoMo 655 upside-down in your right hand. Press the Start Control
button and F2 Configurable button with the index and middle fingers. Hold the stylus in your other hand to
press and release the reset button.
4. A Socket Splash Screen will appear and disappear. Follow the onscreen
instructions.
