Resetting
Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need
to reset your device. A normal (or soft) 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.
You can also perform a hard
reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed
only 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.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to press the RESET
button found on the lower
left side of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today
screen.
To perform a hard
reset
- Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the lower left side of your device.
- Release
the stylus, but continue pressing the two soft key buttons. Release
them only
when you see the following message on your device screen:
“Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.“ - Press on
your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
