ESETTING THE SOMO 650

he SoMo 650 supports the three levels of reset defined by

T Mic

rosoft for Windows Mobile powered devices:

Soft Reset - sometimes called a “warm” reset

•

Hard Reset - sometimes called a “cold” reset

•

• Clean Reset - sometimes called a “clean boot”

Each of these resets is designed to clear different levels of data storage and impact the hardware differently.

Additionally, removing the battery and any external sources of

ower from the SoMo 650 will result in the equivalent of a reset.

The following Table summarizes the system impact under the

odes of operation:

Hard Reset

A hard reset is designed to clear all processor states, running programs, and user data. It also drives the hardware reset li the processor, thereby clearing all system states, including the date and time. This reset should be used to remove the operating sy

stem from a “hung” or “frozen” state because of a fatal

program or operating system error.

A hard reset will clear all user-installed settings, applications, and data from RAM (Random Access Memory). It is usefu

some states that are not normally cleared with a Soft Reset

To perform a hard reset:

Press the two shortcut buttons with the index and middle finger of one hand. Hold the stylus in your other hand to press the reset button and then release.

Keep pressing the two buttons until a splash screen appears with the Socket logo and then disappears.

After the Socket Splash Screen disappears, release the two buttons and follow the onscreen instructions.

APPENDIX C: RESETTING THE SOMO 650 51

Clean Reset

A clean reset is designed to revert the device to its factory default settings (or the latest service pack ROM update). All installed programs, data and registry settings will be cleared. A clean reset also drives the processor with a hardware reset, thus clearing all system states, including the date and time.

CAUTION: A CLEAN RESET IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A SOFT OR

HARD RESET. IT WILL DELETE ALL USER APPLICATION FILES AND FOLDERS. WHEN YOU PERFORM A CLEAN RESET, FORMATS, PREFERENCES AND OTHER SETTINGS INCLUDING DATE AND TIME ARE RESTORED TO THEIR AND ENTRIES, EXCEPT THOSE STORED IN ROM, WILL BE ERASED

NOTE: If you set a security password on the SoMo 650 and

forget it, a clean reset will remove the password setting.

PGRADING THE ROM IMAGE

ADVANCED USERS ONLY!

You can purchase ROM image upgrades from the Socket website.

WARNING! You will lose all data files and applications during the upgrade process!

STEP 1: Power the Device

Make sure the battery has enough power or plug the SoMo 650 into an external power source using the charging cable/cradle.

STEP 2: Back up Data on the Device

If you have any data on the SoMo 650, please back it up before you run the update.

STEP 3: Transfer Files using a Memory Card

IMPORTANT! It is not recommended to transfer the files using ActiveSync or the Windows Mobile Device Center!

The directory SOMO650 containing the ROM image files must be moved to the SoMo 650 with a SD or CF memory card. Make sure your memory card has at least 40 MB of free space.

1. On your PC, use My Computer or Windows Explorer to locate

the directory SOMO650, which contains the upgrade files.

2. Copy the SOMO650 directory to your memory card.

DO NOT change the name of the folder!

3. Insert the memory card into the SoMo 650.
