Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset tells your SPT 1700 terminal to start over again and
erase all records and entries stored in your SPT 1700 terminal.
Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not
solve your problem.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with
your computer during the next HotSync operation.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Hold down the power button on the front of the SPT 1700 ter-
minal.
3. While holding down the power button, gently press the reset
button on the back of the terminal.
4. Release the reset button and then the power button.
5. When a message appears on the SPT 1700 terminal screen
warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
SPT 1700 terminal, do one of the following:
a. Press the upper half of either of the scroll buttons on the
front panel of the SPT 1700 terminal to complete the hard
reset and display the Digitizer screen.
b. Press any other button to perform a soft reset.
Note: With a hard reset, the current date and time are retained.
Formats Preferences and other settings are restored to
their factory default settings.
