Performing A Hard Reset - Sony CLIE PEG-NR70V/U, PEG-NR70/U Operating Instructions Manual

Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Performing a hard reset

If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset
to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Note
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are
erased. Perform a hard reset only if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
You can restore your CLIÉ handheld data if you save a back-up on your
computer or Memory Stick media. For details on how to save a back-up, see
"Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ handheld" on page 189.

A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
CLIÉ handheld is displayed.

handheld upwards.

After a hard reset, only the current date and time are retained. Formats,

performed.
