CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Socket Mobile SoMo 650-M - CARE AND MAINTENANCE - 1

NOTE: For important safety and usage instructions, please refer to page 3.

Cleaning the SoMo:

  • With the device switched off, clean the SoMo 650 by wiping it with a soft, clean cloth that is lint-free and slightly moistened. Do not allow the earpiece, microphone, speaker, card slots, sync/charging port or other metal surfaces to get wet.
  • Do not wipe the SoMo with any corrosive liquid or coarse objects. This can damage the outer surface of the device.

Carrying or Storing the SoMo:

  • Do not leave the SoMo in extremely high or low temperature environments.
  • Remove the battery of the SoMo if it is not going to be used for a long period of time. Store the SoMo and its battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.

APPENDIX C

RESETTING THE SoMo 650

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:

State of SoMo 650 After:All Installed Applications and Registry SettingsRunning ProgramsData Associated with Running ProgramsDate and Time
Soft Reset No impactStoppedLostNo impact
Hard Reset No impactStopped LostLost
Clean Reset RemovedStopped LostLost
Battery & external power removed for less than 5 minutesNo impactStopped LostNo impact
Battery & external power removed for more than 10 minutesNo impactStopped LostLost

Note: The SoMo 650 has a battery backup device that maintains the date and time if the battery and all external power sources are removed. If the SoMo 650 does not have a battery or external power source for more than 10 minutes, the date and time will be lost, and the battery backup device must be recharged for at least 10 minutes before it will properly maintain the date and time.

Soft Reset

A soft reset is like rebooting a computer. It is designed to stop all applications and clear out temporary data associated with running programs. No files are deleted. A soft reset is the lowest level of reset, (i.e., it clears the least amount of the device state).

It can also be used to stop application programs that are "hung" and do not respond to external input. Since Windows Mobile powered devices do not normally shut down an application after it is started, this is one way to stop all applications.

To perform a soft reset:

Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Soft Reset button inside the hole on the bottom of your SoMo 650 and then release.

2-bit Reset Button

Hard Reset

A hard reset is designed to clear all processor states, running programs, and user data. It also drives the hardware reset line to the processor, thereby clearing all system states, including the date and time. This reset should be used to remove the operating system 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 useful for clearing some states that are not normally cleared with a Soft Reset

To perform a hard reset:

  1. Press and hold the Calendar and Contacts shortcut buttons on your SoMo 650.

  2. While holding the two buttons, using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Reset button inside the hole on the bottom of your SoMo 650.

Calendar Shortcut Button Contacts Shortcut Button Reset Button

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.

  1. Keep pressing the two buttons until a splash screen appears with the Socket logo and then disappears.
  2. After the Socket Splash Screen disappears, release the two buttons and follow the onscreen instructions.

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.

Socket Mobile SoMo 650-M - Clean Reset - 1

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 FACTORY DEFAULTS. ALL DATA, RECORDS AND ENTRIES, EXCEPT THOSE STORED IN ROM, WILL BE ERASED.

Socket Mobile SoMo 650-M - Clean Reset - 2

NOTE: If you set a security password on the SoMo 650 and forget it, a clean reset will remove the password setting.

To perform a clean reset:

  1. Press and hold the Left Programmable Application Button, the Calendar and Contacts shortcut buttons on your SoMo 650.

UPGRADING THE ROM IMAGE

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.
