How Do I Restore My HP iPAQ Default 
Settings and Erase All My Data 
(Perform a Hard “Full” Reset)?
Perform a hard reset when:
■
You want to clear all programs and data from main memory 
(where data and programs you have loaded are stored).
■
You want to restore default settings.
■
A problem with your HP iPAQ is not fixed after a soft reset.
Performing a hard reset on your HP iPAQ does not erase 
programs that came with your HP iPAQ. The information that you 
have entered into your HP iPAQ will be erased. This information 
(or data) includes your Word, photos, music files, and other 
settings. 
For more information about saving your data files, refer to
Do I Back Up and Restore My Data?”
described in this
document.
If the battery installed in your HP iPAQ discharges completely, 
your HP iPAQ operates as if a hard reset had been performed once 
the battery has been recharged. Refer to 
in this document for more information.
Ä
CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its 
default settings and loses all information (files, settings, etc.) that is 
recorded in main memory. Information stored in iPAQ File Store will 
not be lost. For more information on using iPAQ File Store, refer to 
“Learning the Basics” in the User’s Guide located on the Companion 
CD. You will also need to re-establish your partnerships. For more 
information on re-establishing your partnerships, refer to
