Performing a Cold Start
A Cold Start will erase all added data and programs, but it will restore the device to the default factory
settings. However, data and application programs stored in the Flash Storage will not be deleted.
Always perform a Warm Start before attempting to use a Cold Start to correct a problem. Data previ-
ously synchronized to the computer can be restored during a future Microsoft ActiveSync operation, or
data can be restored from a backup storage card.

Start Button on the MT680’s back panel.

• Restore th
e MT680-AMWTAG back to factory settings.
