Resetting Your Terminal
If your terminal stops responding to input, reset it.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and entries.
To perform a soft reset press and hold the Power button (for approximately
five seconds) and release it as soon as the screen changes and the
terminal begins to reboot.
Caution:
Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be retained.
As an alternate method to perform a soft reset when the terminal is on
press the key combinations in the table below.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset also restarts your terminal, but can erase all files and settings
not stored in the Flash File System. Therefore, never perform a hard reset
unless a soft reset does not solve your problem.
Note:
You can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next ActiveSync operation. Refer to the
PDT 8100 Series with Windows Mobile 2003 Software for
Pocket PCs Product Reference Guide.
