Performing A Hard Reset - HP iPAQ hw6500 series User Manual

Performing a Hard Reset

Perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset) when you want
to clear all settings, programs, and data from RAM.
CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its
Ä
default settings and loses all information that is not recorded in ROM or
iPAQ File Store.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold down the Power button.
2. While holding the Power button, use the stylus to lightly
press the recessed Reset button on the bottom of the HP
iPAQ for about five seconds.
3. The HP iPAQ screen fades and the device resets. Once the
device resets and the screen comes back on, release the
Power button and remove the stylus from the Reset button.
