Performing a Hard Reset
Warning:
A HARD RESET WILL ERASE ALL TRANSACTION DATA
Don't perform a hard reset unless the soft reset has not worked and you've backed
up your data, or you're willing to lose the transaction data. If the handheld is
mounted in the bar code reader cradle, it must be removed to perform the reset
operation.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Hold down the power (on/off) button on your device. The power button on
Visor organizers is on the front.
2. While holding down the power button, turn over your device so that you can
see the back of it. Using an unfolded paper clip or a similar small blunt-tipped
object, gently press the reset hole on the back of the PDA.
3. When the device's screen displays the Palm Computing Platform logo, release
the power button.
4. A message will appear warning that you are about to erase all the data stored
on your handheld. In response, do one of the following:
o
Press the up scroll button on the front panel of your handheld to
complete the hard reset, erasing everything on your device
or
o
Press any other button to begin a soft reset, leaving your data intact.
5. Your device will then take you through a series of screens to calibrate the
digitizer and verify the time and date.
Note: A hard reset does not delete the current date and time. It does restore other
settings to the factory default. .
