Chapter 3: About Your Pocket PC Phone
Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and Clearing Memory
You can perform a soft reset or a hard reset – a soft reset restarts your device and a hard reset switches the battery off.
With a soft reset, some data may be lost in the programs that were open when the reset was performed. However, by
performing a hard reset, all the data and new programs that you have added will be erased and the device will be
restored to its factory setting – i.e. only programs installed at the factory will remain. With this in mind, it is important
not to think about a hard reset as you would restarting, shutting down or even improperly switching off your desktop,
but rather like a complete crash that requires you to erase your OS. Therefore, it is extremely important that you
regularly back up data on your device to a SD card in the event you have to perform a hard reset.
Performing a soft reset:
If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding or freezes, try performing a soft reset. A soft reset causes
the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.
• Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button. (For details on finding soft reset, see, “Chapter 2, Bottom Edge
Features.”)
Performing a hard reset:
A hard device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to
its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created
and programs you have installed are erased.
1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of
the top-half.
2. Simultaneously press the battery switch and hold
down the power switch to turn it off. Repeat to turn
it back on.
