Resetting the MT20X0
If the device stops responding to input, reset it. There are two types of resets, warm boot and cold boot. A warm
boot restarts the device by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the device, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it returns
formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the device and saves all stored records and entries. If the dev ice still does
not respond, perform a cold boot.
