Resetting the Device

Sometimes there is a need to reset your Pocket PC. Resetting the
device is known as performing a “soft” or “hard” reset.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset stops all running applications, but does not erase any
programs or saved data. Be sure to save any unsaved data within
a running application before performing a soft reset.

Perform a soft reset to:

Stop all running applications

Install a new application

Restart the Pocket PC if it stops responding

To perform a soft reset:

1. Locate the recessed Reset button on the bottom of your iPAQ

Pocket PC.

2. Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button.

The Pocket PC restarts and displays the Today screen.
