Resetting your handheld
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset
button. On rare occasions, however, your handheld may no longer
respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a
reset to get your handheld running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records and entries stored in your handheld are retained
with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears,
followed by the Date and Time Preferences screen (to set date and
time).
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 handheld.
Tip: The metal and plastic stylus that comes with your handheld
has a reset tip inside. To use it, unscrew the metal barrel from
the stylus quill.
