4.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC
Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC. 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 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
bottom of your device.
The device restarts and displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
•
Press and hold both SOFT KEYS. Keep these keys pressed,
and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the
RESET button on the bottom side of your device.
