•A Clean Boot forces all applications to close and restores the Falcon to factory defaults. ALL
Once you initiate a Clean Boot, all applications are forcibly closed and installed applications and data are deleted. PSC recommends that you first attempt a Warm Reset, then a Hard Reset, before initiating a Clean Boot.

CAUTION | the reset function, rupturing the Falcon’s industrial seal, and voiding your warranty. |
| PSC recommends using a straightened paper clip |
Warm Reset
A Warm Reset is a complete reset of the Falcon in which all applications are forcibly closed and working RAM is cleared.
Reason to Warm Reset. Perform a Warm Reset when the Windows Mobile operating system locks up and you cannot reset a “hung” application using the Settings, as described above.
Procedure to Warm Reset
The reset procedure varies, depending upon the keypad on your Falcon. The first two keys of the sequence can be pressed in any order, but the unit will not reset until they both are held down and then the third key (<Bksp> or <F1>) is pressed. All three keys must be held down for the unit to reset. Refer to Figure 30 for the location of the reset keys.
