Resetting your organizer

Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset
button. On rare occasions, however, your organizer may no longer
respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a
reset to get your organizer running again.

Performing a soft reset

A soft reset tells your organizer to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records and entries stored in your organizer are retained
with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears,
followed by the General Preferences screen (to set time and date).

To perform a soft reset:

Use the reset tip tool, or the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar
object without a sharp tip), to gently press the reset button inside
the hole on the back panel of your organizer.

Tip:

The metal and plastic stylus that comes with your organizer

has a reset tip inside. To use it, unscrew the metal barrel from
the stylus quill.
