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 middle 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 middle left side of your device.
- Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen: This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
- Release
the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the button 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.
