13.7Resetting Your Device

Soft reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

To perform a soft reset

1.Pull out the stylus.

2.Remove the back cover.

3.Use the stylus to press the RESET button located at the bottom of the back side of the device. Your device restarts and displays the Home screen.
