Press the On/Off button to restart the netpad—you will hear two beeps during boot- up to indicate the reset. After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost. Your other files on the internal disk will almost always be safe. It is possible (although unlikely) that performing a soft reset after a program failure may cause the netpad to lose the information on the internal disk; it could even prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will have to perform a “hard reset”.

Important: A hard reset resets the netpad completely, and all information on the internal disk will be lost.

To perform a hard reset:

1.Remove the netpad from the docking station (if applicable).

2.Remove the main battery.

3.Press and hold down the On/Off button (on the top of the unit).

4.While continuing to hold down the On/Off button, press and release the Reset button.

5.Release the On/Off button.

6.Refit the battery into the netpad—the unit will power up and you will hear one beep during boot-up.

Note: Hard resetting the netpad will delete the partnership on the netpad. You may delete and re-create the partnership on the PC, or create another partnership with a new name. Refer to ActiveSync’s online help for more details on this operation.
