Getting to Know Your HP iPAQ

Performing a Full Reset

Perform a hard reset when:

■You want to clear all programs and data from main memory (where data and programs you have loaded are stored).

■You want to restore default settings.

■A problem with your HP iPAQ is not fixed after a soft reset.

Performing a hard reset on your HP iPAQ does not erase programs that came with your HP iPAQ. The information that you have entered into your HP iPAQ will be erased. This information (or data) includes your Word documents, photos, music files, and other settings.

For more information about saving your data files, refer to “How Do I Back Up and Restore My Data” described in this document.

If the battery installed in your HP iPAQ discharges completely, once the battery has been recharged your HP iPAQ operates as if a hard reset had been performed. Refer to “How Do I Check the Battery Level?” in this document for more information.

ÄCAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its default settings and loses all information (files, settings, etc.) that is recorded in main memory. Information stored in iPAQ File Store will

not be lost. For more information on using iPAQ File Store, refer to “Learning the Basics” in this User’s Guide. You will also need to reestablish your partnerships. For more information on reestablishing your partnerships, refer to “How Do I Synchronize Calendar, E-mail, Contact Data and More between My HP iPAQ and PC (installing Microsoft ActiveSync and establishing Partnerships)?” in the How Do I Guide located on the Companion CD.
