13.8 Resetting Your Device

Soft reset

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset of your

device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This

can be useful when your 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.

To perform a soft reset

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Use the stylus tip to press the RESET

button located between the SIM card

and the storage card slots.

Your device restarts and displays the

Home screen.

Hard reset

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should

only be performed 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 your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile®

software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any

additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before you

perform a hard reset.
