88 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone
5.7 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 at the bottom center
part of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
1. 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 bottom
center part of your device.
