Resetting your Treo
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.
Unless your battery is extremely low, a soft reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button on the back of your Treo.
System reset
A system reset, also called a
safe or warm reset, tells your Treo to stop what
it’s doing and start over again without loading any system extras. If your Treo
loops or freezes during a soft reset, a system reset may help. Performing a
system reset allows you to get out of an endless loop in order to uninstall a
third-party application causing the looping. Unless your battery is extremely
low, a system reset should not affect your data.
1. Unscrew the stylus tip to access the reset tool.
2. While holding Up
, use the reset tool to gently press the reset button
on the back of your Treo.
3. When the Palm Powered logo appears, release Up
.
Trouble installing Palm
Desktop?
The CD included with your Treo installs the software and drivers that let you
synchronize with Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows.
If you want to synchronize with a different Personal Information Manager
(PIM), you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s author or
vendor to learn if software is available for your Treo.
1. Restart your computer.
2. Quit any active applications, including virus scanners and Internet security
applications.
3. Make sure you’re installing the version of Palm Desktop that came on
the CD with your Treo. Other versions of Palm Desktop may not work
with this Treo.
4. Make sure your computer profile includes administrator rights to install
software. In large organizations, these are usually granted by the system
administrator.

Trouble installing Palm Desktop?
If you need to perform a
system reset and disable
conflicting applications,
always end the process with
a soft reset. This returns
your Treo to normal
operation.
