Resetting Your Palm III Organizer
Under normal circumstances, you will never have to use the reset
button. However, on rare occasions your Palm III organizer may
“hang” (no longer respond to buttons or the screen). In this case, you
need to perform a reset to get your Palm III organizer running again.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset tells your Palm III organizer to stop what it’s doing and
start over again. All records and entries stored in your Palm III
organizer are retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome
to Palm III organizer screen appears followed by the General
Preferences screen (to set time and date).
To perform a soft reset:
■ Use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a
sharp tip) to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the
back panel of your Palm III organizer.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset also tells your Palm III organizer to start over again. With
a hard reset all records and entries stored in your Palm III organizer
are erased. Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not
solve your problem.
Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next HotSync operation.
