Resetting Your Treo

Soft Reset
A soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Treo is not responding or
you have trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help. Unless
your battery is extremely low, a soft reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button on the back of your Treo.
System Reset
A system reset, also called a safe or warm reset, tells your Treo to stop what it's
doing and start over again without loading any system extras. If your Treo loops or
freezes during a soft reset, a system reset may help. Performing a system reset
allows you to get out of an endless loop in order to uninstall a third-party
application causing the looping. Unless your battery is extremely low, a system
reset should not affect your data.
If you need to perform a system reset and disable conflicting applications, always
end the process with a soft reset. This returns your Treo to normal operation.

Hard Reset
A hard reset erases all data and third-party software on your Treo. Never perform a
hard reset without first trying a soft and system reset. You can restore previously
synchronized data with the next HotSync operation.
A hard reset can tell you whether a problem stems from your Treo or an
application installed on it. If you do not experience the problem after you perform
a hard reset, the problem may be related to software you installed. See page 162
