5.6 Resetting Your Sprint PCS Vision
Smart Device
Occasionally you may need to reset your Sprint PCS Vision Smart
Device. A normal (or soft) reset of your PPC-6700 clears all active
program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be
useful when the 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 the device will be lost. Only Windows
Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset:
Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button
on the bottom of your PPC-6700. The device restarts, and
then displays the Today screen.

Tip:
To avoid data lost, please turn off your device before
performing a soft reset.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold both SOFT KEYs on the device. Keep these
keys pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to
lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of
your device.
2. Press either Y to restore to factory default, or N to exit the
hard reset process.
