7.2 Restoring Factory Default State

In some cases, you may need to restore your Pocket PC to the factory default
state by clearing the memory (RAM) from your Pocket PC. For example, you
should clear the memory:

When your Pocket PC does not respond after being reset.

When you forget your password.

Clearing the memory means all data you have entered in RAM, including all
files, system settings and additional programs you have installed, will be erased.
(Programs installed to ROM at the factory are not affected.)

CAUTION:

To ensure the integrity of your data should it be necessary to clear the memory, you’re

advised to regularly back up your data. (For information on backing up data, see section
3.5.)

Do not slide the battery switch unless it is necessary.


Follow this procedure to clear the memory from your Pocket PC:

1. Backup your information if necessary.

2. Disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter, from your Pocket PC.

3. Stop all running programs by tapping

4. Press the battery lock to remove the battery.

5. Use the stylus to slide the battery switch to the

OFF (left) position.

6. Wait for 1 minute and then slide the switch back to

the ON (right) position.

7. Your Pocket PC will automatically turn on and

display the “Welcome” screen.

NOTE: In case your Pocket PC didn’t automatically turn on,

use the stylus to firmly press the RESET button at the back

of your Pocket PC to turn it on.


8. To begin the Welcome Wizard, tap the screen with the stylus and follow the

onscreen instructions to complete the Welcome Wizard.

Wait for 1 minute.
