Occasionally, you will need to reset your Velo 500, for example,
after you restore data from your desktop computer or when the
operating system stops responding to your commands or stylus
taps. There are several methods for resetting, depending on the
severity of the problem. In most cases, you can reset your Velo
500 without losing any data; however, to ensure the safety of your
information, you should regularly back up your data to your
desktop computer.
The Reset program (Reset.exe) is the most reliable method for
resetting your Velo 500 while preserving your data. The Reset
program is already installed in the Velo Applications folder on
your Velo 500.
To reset your Velo 500 using the Reset program
1 On the Start menu, tap Programs, tap Velo
Applications, and then tap Reset.
2 In the Reset Velo 500 dialog box, tap Yes.
Only when the Reset program fails to correct a problem should
you press the Reset button with the stylus. Pressing the Reset
button once should retain the data stored on your Velo 500.
Caution Pressing the reset button multiple times will cause your
Velo 500 to do a full restart. This will erase all information not stored
in ROM.
In the most severe cases, such as when your Velo 500 doesn't
respond to the Reset button or if you forget your password, you
may need to perform a "full restart" by removing all power,
including the main and backup batteries, from your Velo 500.
Resetting in this way will erase all files and programs you have
saved on your Velo 500.
Caution Performing a full restart by removing and reinstalling all
batteries erases all files, programs, and appointments you have
entered. You can restore this data from the backup file on your
desktop computer; however, the information will be only as current
as the most recent backup.
