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 in order to uninstall a
third-party application causing the looping. Unless your battery is extremely
low, a system reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. While holding Up
, use the reset tool to gently press the reset button
on the back of your Treo.
3. When the Palm Powered logo appears, release Up .
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.
