Resetting your organizer
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset
button. On rare occasions, however, your organizer may no longer
respond when you press buttons or tap the screen. In this case, you
need to reset your organizer so that it will work again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your organizer to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records stored in your organizer are retained with a soft
reset.
Tip:
The stylus that comes with your organizer has a reset tool
inside. To use the tool, unscrew the top of the stylus.
To perform a soft reset:
■
Use the reset tool, or 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 panel of your organizer.
After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears, followed by the
General Preferences screen (to set time and date).
