Resetting Your Palm® Treo™ 800W SmartDevice

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Treo is not responding or you have trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help.

1.If your Treo responds to key presses, press and hold Power/End to turn off your phone.

2.If the screen display is on, press Power/End to turn off the screen.

3.Remove the battery from your Treo, and then reinsert it. (See “Replacing the Battery” on page 351 for details. The reset begins when you insert the battery.)

4.Wait for the progress bar on the Palm logo screen to fill and the Windows Mobile screen to transition to the Today screen before continuing to use your Treo. (Be patient, this may take a few minutes.)
