Hard reset

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 your device will

be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs

will remain.

To perform a hard reset

1.

Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use

the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.

2.

Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons

until you see the following message on the screen:

This operation will delete

all your personal data,

and reset all settings to

the manufacturer default

settings. Press ENTER

to restore manufacturer

defaults, or press any other

button to cancel.

3.

Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your

device.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any

additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before

a hard reset is performed.

Important If Encrypt files placed on storage cards is or was enabled before, then

backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard

reset or updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no longer

be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync

or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage

card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage

card.

To add a running program to the exclusive list

If you add a running program to the Exclusive Programs List, it will not be

closed when you tap Stop Selected or Stop All and will not be listed in the

Quick Menu on the Today Screen.

1.

On the Task Manager screen, tap the Running tab.

2.

Tap and hold the program name in the list, then tap Add Exclusive.

Tip

To remove a program from the exclusive list, tap the Exclusive tab, select the

check box of that program, then tap Remove.

To set the sorting preference for running programs in the Quick Menu

1.

On the Task Manager screen, tap the Advanced tab.

2.

Choose whether to sort according to Program name or Memory

usage. The list will be sorted in ascending order.

12.3 Resetting Your Device

Soft reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset

of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all

active programs. This can be useful when your 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.

To perform a soft reset

Remove the back cover and then

with the stylus, press the RESET

button found at the left side of

your device. Your device restarts

and displays the Today screen.
