84 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone
5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft)
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.
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.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the Reset button on the
bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the
Today screen.
