Resetting the Mobile Computer

Windows Mobile 5.0 Devices

There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot.
•
A warm boot restarts the mobile computer and closes all running programs.
•
A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer and closes all running programs but also resets the
Real-Time-Clock (RTC).
Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is not lost. Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the mobile
computer and saves all stored records and entries. If the mobile computer still does not respond, perform a
cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the mobile computer starts to perform
a warm boot release the Power button.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the mobile computer. The operating system and all applications are restarted. File storage
is preserved. The Real-Time-Clock (RTC) resets. Only perform a cold boot if a warm boot does not solve the
problem.
To perform a cold boot:
1. Press the primary battery release on the mobile computer to partially eject the battery from the mobile
computer.
2. On an MC9090-G, while the battery is partially released, simultaneously press and release the trigger and
the Power button.
3. Push the battery to fully re-insert it in the mobile computer. One audible click can be heard as the battery is
fully inserted.
4. The mobile computer initializes.
