Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset (also known as a normal reset) stops all running applications,

but does not erase any programs or saved data.

CAUTION: Be sure to save any unsaved data before performing a soft

reset since a soft reset erases all unsaved data.

To perform a soft reset:
1.

Locate the recessed Reset button on the bottom of the device to the

right of the communications port.

2.

Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button until the

screen fades.

3.

Remove the stylus to restart the HP iPAQ.

The HP iPAQ restarts and displays the Today screen.
