•
Soft reset—A soft reset (also called “warm boot”) is
similar to restarting your desktop PC. It restarts the
operating system and preserves any saved data.
•
Full reset—A full reset (also called “hard reset”) restores
your HP Jornada to its original state, erasing all informa-
tion you have entered.
To ensure the safety of your information in case a full reset is
necessary, you should regularly back up your data to your
desktop PC (using Windows CE Services) or to a
CompactFlash or PC Card (using the HP Jornada backup
application). For more information on backing up data, see
the Backing up and restoring data section in chapter 5.
Soft reset
Perform a soft reset after restoring data from a backup file or
when your HP Jornada appears to be frozen or locked up.
To perform a soft reset
1. Disconnect the sync cable and/or the telephone line
from your HP Jornada.
2. Use the stylus to press the Reset button.
When you perform a soft reset you will lose unsaved data in all open documents or
programs.
