Managing Your Pocket PC Phone

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone

Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC Phone. A normal

(or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and

shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the device is

running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A

soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a

soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will

be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard

reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a

system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default

settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it

on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you

customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile

TM

software

and other pre-installed programs will remain.

To perform a soft reset

Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on

the left side of your device. The device restarts and displays the

Today screen.

Warning!

Always turn off your device before performing a soft reset or

installing/replacing the battery and SIM card.
