5.6 Resetting Your PPC-6700
Occasionally you may need to reset your PPC-6700. 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.
