Resetting your Sony CLIÉ handheld

Normally, you do not need to reset your CLIÉ handheld. However, should your CLIÉ handheld not turn on or not respond, you can perform a soft reset to solve the problem.

Follow the procedure below to reset your CLIÉ handheld.

Performing a soft reset

All records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are retained even after performing a soft reset.

1 Take out the stylus pin by unscrewing the metal barrel from the stylus quill.

2 Use the stylus pin to gently press the RESET button.

The system shuts down and then restarts. After restarting, the system displays “palm powered,” “CLIÉ,” and “SONY,” followed by the Preferences screen for setting the time and date.

Notes

After the RESET button is pressed, it takes a while until the Preferences screen is displayed. Be sure not to press the RESET button again while resetting.

Do not press the RESET button with anything other than the stylus pin. It may cause a malfunction.
