To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold the iPAQ Mobile Media (
) and iTask
(
) buttons on your HP iPAQ.
2. While holding the iPAQ Mobile Media and iTask buttons,
use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom 
of your HP iPAQ for about three seconds or until the screen 
begins to fade.
3. When the iPAQ screen begins to fade, release the iPAQ
Mobile Media and iTasks buttons then remove the stylus 
from the Reset button. The HP iPAQ resets and powers on.
If the HP iPAQ does not power on after a reset, try the following:
■
Check the battery door to ensure it is locked. If not, 
replace the battery door by matching the tabs on the 
cover to the latches on the HP iPAQ and snap it into 
place. This action locks the battery door. If the battery 
door is not locked, the HP iPAQ does not power on. For 
more information, refer to “Managing the Battery” 
described in this document.
Perform a soft reset on your HP iPAQ. Refer to “How Do I 
Regain Functionality if My HP iPAQ Locks Up or Runs Slowly 
(Perform a Soft “Normal” Reset)?” described in the How Do I 
Guide located on the Companion CD.
