13.7 Resetting Your Device
Soft reset
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset of your device clears all active
program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your 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.
To perform a soft reset
1.
Pull out the stylus.
2.
Use the stylus to press the RESET button located
at the bottom of the device.
Your device restarts and displays the Home
screen.
Hard reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should only be performed 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 your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other
pre-installed programs will remain.
Warning!
Important
Close programs which are not in use.
Move files and e-mail attachments to the storage card.
Delete unnecessary files. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer. Tap and hold the file, and tap
Delete.
Delete large files. To find large files on your device, tap Start > Programs > Search. In the Type list,
tap Larger than 64 KB, and tap Search.
In Opera Mobile or Internet Explorer Mobile, delete temporary Internet files and clear history
information.
Remove programs you no longer use.
Reset your device.
Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed
programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, backup all files from the storage card
before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no
longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile
Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your
files back to the storage card.
