5.6 Resetting Your MDA
Occasionally you may need to reset your MDA. A normal (or soft) reset
of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all
active programs. This can be useful when the device is running slower
than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is
also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is
performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it
on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software
and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on
the left side of your device. The device restarts and displays the
Today screen.
