Resetting your handheld
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset
button. On rare occasions, however, your handheld may no longer
respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a
reset to get your handheld running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records and entries stored in your handheld are retained
with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears,
followed by the General Preferences screen (to set time and date).
To perform a soft reset:
1. Unscrew the tip of the stylus to access the reset tool.
2. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button inside the hole on
the back panel of your handheld.
Tip:
You can also use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or
similar object
without
a sharp tip).
