12.3Resetting 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
Remove the back cover and then
with the stylus, press the RESET
button found at the left side of
your device. Your device restarts
and displays the Today screen.	RESET button

Hard reset

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings -‑ the way

it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

To perform a hard reset

1.Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.

2.Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:

This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press ENTER

to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.

3.Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

Otherwise you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
