Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone

You can perform a

soft reset or a full reset. During a soft reset, the device is restarted and

only some data in opened programs may be lost. However, a

full reset turns the battery off,

returns the device to its original factory settings, and deletes all programs, files, contacts

and other information you have saved to the device. Therefore, it is extremely important

to back up data to a storage card or your computer on a regular basis in the event that a

full reset has to be performed.

To perform a soft reset

If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding, or freezes, you can

soft reset

it. A

soft reset causes the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation.

Unsaved data in any opened applications may be lost. Use the stylus to press and hold

the

Reset button, as shown on the next page.
