160 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC

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.

Factory default reset—A factory default reset (also called

“hard reset”) restores your HP Jornada to its original state,
erasing all information you have entered.

To ensure the safety of your information in case a factory default
reset is necessary, you should regularly back up your data to your
desktop PC (using Microsoft ActiveSync) 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, or remove it from the docking cradle (optional
on the HP Jornada 710).

2. Use the stylus to press the Reset button.
