Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset erases all records and entries stored in your
handheld. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does
not solve the problem. To restore your data after a hard reset,
you must perform a HotSync operation. For more information
on performing a HotSync operation, see "Performing a Local
HotSync Operation" on page 249.
Note:
You can restore any data
previously synchronized
with your computer during
the next HotSync
operation.
Note:
With a hard reset, the
current date and time are
retained. Formats,
Preferences, and other
settings are restored to
their factory default
settings.
To perform a Hard Reset:
ᮣ To perform a hard reset, unscrew the top of the stylus. Press
and hold the Handheld Power button then use the pin to
press the reset button. Remove the pin from the rest hole,
then release the handheld power button. An “Erase all
data” screen is displayed confirming the hard reset. Press
the up arrow to hard reset the phone.
