To perform a soft reset press and hold the power key (for

Performing a Hard Reset

A hard reset also restarts your terminal, but erases all stored
records and entries in RAM. Therefore, never perform a hard reset
unless a soft reset does not solve your problem.
Note: With a hard reset, formats, preferences, date and time,
and other settings are restored to their factory default
settings.
You can restore any data previously synchronized with
your computer during the next ActiveSync operation.
