Resetting your Treo
Soft reset
A soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Treo is not responding or you
have trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help. Unless your
battery is extremely low, a soft reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button on the back of your Treo.
System reset
A system reset, also called a safe or warm reset, tells your Treo to stop what it’s doing
and start over again without loading any system extras. If your Treo loops or freezes
during a soft reset, a system reset may help. Performing a system reset allows you to
get out of an endless loop so that you can uninstall the third-party application that
caused the loop. Unless your battery is extremely low, a system reset should not affect
your data.
If you need to perform a
system reset and disable
conflicting applications,
always end the process
with a soft reset. This
returns your Treo to normal
operation.
