2.6 How To Reset The netpad
If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, move to the System screen and
select the List open files command from the File menu. Select the program from the
list and press the Close file button.
If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have "locked up", you can always
perform a "soft reset". This should restart your netpad while preserving most of
your information.
It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netpad do not appear to respond,
or if the netpad appears to switch on and you are sure that the batteries are good
(especially if the contrast adjustment still appears to work), but the screen is other-
wise blank.
To perform a soft reset:
gently press the stylus onto the reset button. This is located inside the MMC
door cover to the side of the MMC slot.
After a soft reset, any changes to open files (such as Word or Sheet files) will be lost.
Your other files on the Internal disk will almost always be safe.
It is possible (although unlikely) that a program failure causes the reset to lose the
information on the Internal disk; it could even prevent the reset from working at all.
If this happens, you will have to perform a "hard reset".
To perform a hard reset:
1. Remove the netpad from the docking station.
2. Remove the main battery.
3. Press and hold down the On/Off button (on the top of the unit).
