System Reset

If there is no response from the handheld, or an application is locked up and stops responding,

then a reset of the handheld may be necessary. Resetting the system is also required when you

want to upgrade firmware,

Soft (Warm) Reset

If there is no response from the system, you should first perform a soft reset. A soft reset will halt

running programs and the user memory will be deleted. Installed programs and saved data are not

affected. Use the stylus pen to press <Reset> button briefly. The screen will go black momentarily

before the system reboots again.

Soft Reset

 Press Reset button.

 System will reboot.

 Desktop appears in about ten seconds.

 Your registry information, copied files,

and installed programs are all retained.

Hard (Cold) Reset

A Hard Reset (which is sometimes called a Cold Reset) initializes the hardware completely. The

user’s installed programs, files, and registry values will be retained, but the real-time data and

date/time will be reset. You need to reset the time and date after performed Hard Reset. You

should only perform a Hard Reset when the Soft Reset fails to restore the system. Hold the

<Power> button while using the stylus pen to press the <Reset> button, then release both of them

simultaneously. The screen will go black momentarily before the system restarts again.
