Windows CE 6.0 Devices
If the mobile computer stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost. A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings. Perform a warm boot first. If the mobile computer still does not respond, perform a cold boot.

- If the red or green light is illuminated, try to sync your Device by pushing the sync button on the cradle.
- If no lights are illuminated, check the following. Make sure the Device unit is firmly and fully inserted into the cradle. Check to make sure there is power to the cradle, power supply and wall outlet. Try inserting a different Device into the cradle.

- You should next see a "box" for the Palm HotSync manager program on your computer screen. Palm's HotSync manager is the program that allows your PC and your Palm Device computer to "talk" to each other.
- If the Palm HotSync "box" does not appear, check that the HotSync manager application is running. You'll see an icon that looks like this in the system tray (bottom right of your computer's monitor):
- If HotSync Manager is not running, navigate to Start>All Programs>Palm Desktop and click on the HotSync manager icon
- if HotSync Manager is running, right click on the HotSync manager icon in your system tray, and insure that there is a check mark next to "Local Serial"
- If the Palm HotSync box appears, you should next see the TrackAbout Conduit. The TrackAbout conduit allows your computer to send the data on your Palm Device computer to the TrackAbout website.
