12.4 Resetting Your Device

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

•Use the stylus to press the RESET button found at the bottom center part of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
