Clearing memory
If you forget your Aero password or want to clear all data from your Aero and return it to
the factory settings, clear memory.
CAUTION: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Aero to its default settings. Pro-
grams installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you
have installed are erased.
1. Disconnect your Aero from the AC Adapter, if using external power.
2. Turn over your Aero.
3. Remove both the main battery and the backup battery.
4. Wait at least 1 minute, then replace the batteries.
5. Turn over your Aero, then press the power button to restart your Aero.
6. Run through the Welcome Wizard again to reestablish your system and calibration set-
tings.
NOTE: Use CF Backup/Restore or ActiveSync to keep a backup of your Aero data so that if you
need to clear memory, you can restore the data on your Aero. For more information, see
ActiveSync Help.

Battery loses power

When the batteries are low, you will see a battery icon in the status bar of the Today
screen. Replace or recharge low batteries as soon as possible. When the main battery is
discharged your data will be preserved by the backup battery. If the backup battery is dis-
charged, you run the risk of losing the data on your Pocket PC.
