Preforming 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 previ-
ously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a
storage card.
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, preferences, and
other settings are restored to their
default factory settings.
