Maintaining Your SPT 1700 Terminal
Resetting Your SPT 1700 Terminal
Under normal circumstances, you will never have to use the reset button. However, on rare
occasions your SPT 1700 terminal may “hang” (no longer respond to buttons or the
screen). In this case, perform a reset to get your SPT 1700 terminal runnin g again.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset tells your SPT 1700 terminal to stop what it’s doing and start over again. All
records and entries stored in your SPT 1700 terminal are retained with a soft reset. After a
soft reset, the Palm Computing Platform Logo screen displays followed by the General
Preferences screen.
To perform a soft reset, remove the battery cover and use your stylus to gently press the
reset button, which is located under the battery cover.

Performing a Hard Reset

A hard reset tells your SPT 1700 terminal to start over again and erase all records and
entries stored in your SPT 1700 terminal. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unl ess a
soft reset does not solve your problem.
Note:You can restore any data previously synch ronized with your
computer during the next HotSync operation.
