A warm boot does not affect data files or data dictionaries. To choose this, go to the
Configuration screen and select Factory Defaults.
Perform a warm boot if:
• the unit is not recording any positions in the files
• you cannot download a file
• you cannot get the GeoExplorer receiver to receive RTCM corrections
A cold boot sets everything back to the defaults, deletes all data files, data
dictionaries and the almanac, and checks the memory.
Perform a cold boot if:
• the unit will not lock onto the expected number of satellites
• the unit displays an error message
• the unit is stuck displaying: Trimble Navigation – Flash Loader
