Acer c530 hard reset

Resetting your Acer c500 Series

You may have to perform a reset if your Acer c500 Series no longer responds to the buttons on the screen.

Performing a soft reset

A soft reset allows your Acer c500 Series to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset.
To perform a soft reset:
• Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Reset button inside the hole on the upper right-hand side of your Acer c500 Series.

 

Performing a hard reset

A hard reset will erase all records and entries stored in your Acer c500 Series. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer.

To perform a hard reset:

1 Press and hold the Today and Messaging (a) buttons on your Acer c500
Series.
2 While holding the Calendar and Contacts buttons, using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Reset button inside the hole (b) on the upper right-hand side of your Acer c500 Series.

NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, formats, preferences and other settings including date and time are restored to their factory default settings. All data, records and entries, except for those stored in ROM, will be erased.
