The SoMo 650 supports the three levels of reset defined by Microsoft 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 power from the
SoMo 650 will result in the equivalent of a reset.
The following Table summarizes the system impact under these modes of operation:

The SoMo has a power backup that maintains the date and time if the battery
and all external power sources are removed. If the SoMo does not have a
battery or external power source for 10 minutes, the date and time will be lost,
and the power backup must be recharged for at least 10 minutes for it to
properly maintain the date and time.
