13.3 Resetting Your Device

Soft reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset

of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active

programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal,

or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the

installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are

running, unsaved work will be lost.

To perform a soft reset

Press the RESET button at the back panel of your device. Your device restarts

and displays the Today screen.

Hard reset

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard

reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system

problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings—

the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs

you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your

device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed

programs will remain.
