Resetting Your Handheld
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use
the reset button. On rare occasions, however your
handheld may no longer respond to buttons or the
screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get
your handheld running again.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset interrupts the processing on your handheld.
All records and entries stored in your handheld
computer are retained with a soft reset. After a soft
reset, the main phone screen is displayed.
To perform a Soft Reset:
• Un-screw the stylus, or use the tip of an unfolded paper clip
(or similar object without a sharp tip), to gently press the
reset button inside the hole on the back lower right corner of
your phone.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset erases all records and entries stored in
your handheld. Never perform a hard reset unless a
soft reset does not solve the problem. To restore your
data after a hard reset, you must perform an
ActiveSync operation.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next ActiveSync operation.
Note: With a hard reset, the current date and time are retained.
Formats, Preferences, and other settings are restored to their original
factory default settings.
