- To cold boot your Pocket PC
Hold the Power key with one hand while using stylus tip to push in the Reset key with the other. Simultaneously release
both the Power key and Reset key.
- Only do this if you have already tried to reset using another method, and your Pocket PC is still not operating normally, is not
responding or the screen is frozen.
There are two options for cold booting; please refer to the information below, and decide which option you will try.
1. Don’t press any key after the cold boot and allow the Pocket PC to boot to the Today screen. This is identical to the reset
described earlier.
2. If you have tried the previous methods, and they have not solved the problem, then you may:
- Press and hold both Power key and Reset key for a while, then release them simultaneously.
- Wait for a few seconds until the screen wakes up displaying the model name, firmware version and firmware build date of your device, immediately press and hold Record key.
- Continue pressing Record key and release it when you see an inquiry box shown on the screen.
