Performing a hard reset
Please be fully aware that following the procedure below will make you lose all the data you have saved on
your CLIÉ handheld!
If there is a problem that a soft reset cannot resolve, you need to perform a hard reset to restart your CLIÉ
handheld.
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored o n your CLIÉ handheld are erased; only the current date
and time are retained. Formats, preferenc es, and other settings are restored to their factory default
settings.
Only perform a hard reset if a soft reset does not resolve your problem.
If you save a backup of your CLIÉ handh eld data on your computer, you can restore any data previously
synchronized with your computer durin g the next HotSync® operation.
To perform a hard reset, proceed as follows:
1Take the reset tip from the stylus (see Performing a soft reset (page 11)).
2While holding down the power button, use the reset tip to gently pre ss and release the reset button.
The Palm Powered window is displayed.
3Release the power button.
You will see a message warning you that you are about to erase all the data stored on your CLIÉ
handheld.
4Tap the upper half of the scroll button on the front panel of your CLIÉ h andheld.
Your CLIÉ handheld undergoes a hard reset and e verything is erased apart from the c urrent date and
time.
If the scroll button was used just prior to hard resetting, the hard reset may not work.
