5.6 Resetting Your Sprint PCS Vision

Smart Device

Occasionally you may need to reset your Sprint PCS Vision Smart

Device. A normal (or soft) reset of your PPC-6700 clears all active

program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be

useful when the 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.
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 the device will be lost. Only Windows
Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

To perform a soft reset:

Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button

on the bottom of your PPC-6700. The device restarts, and
then displays the Today screen.

Tip:

To avoid data lost, please turn off your device before
performing a soft reset.

To perform a hard reset:

1. Press and hold both SOFT KEYs on the device. Keep these

keys pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to

lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of

your device.

2. Press either Y to restore to factory default, or N to exit the

hard reset process.
