Getting to Know Your HP iPAQ
User’s Guide 1–9
Performing a Full Reset
Perform a hard reset when:
■ You want to clear all programs and data from main memory
(where data and programs you have loaded are stored).
■ You want to restore default settings.
■ A problem with your HP iPAQ is not fixed after a soft reset.
Performing a hard reset on your HP iPAQ does not erase
programs that came with your HP iPAQ. The information that
you have entered into your HP iPAQ will be erased. This
information (or data) includes your Word documents, photos,
music files, and other settings.
For more information about saving your data files, refer to “How
Do I Back Up and Restore My Data” described in this document.
If the battery installed in your HP iPAQ discharges completely,
once the battery has been recharged your HP iPAQ operates as if
a hard reset had been performed. Refer to “How Do I Check the
Battery Level?” in this document for more information.
Ä
CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its
default settings and loses all information (files, settings, etc.) that is
recorded in main memory. Information stored in iPAQ File Store will
not be lost. For more information on using iPAQ File Store, refer to
“Learning the Basics” in this User’s Guide. You will also need to
reestablish your partnerships. For more information on reestablishing
your partnerships, refer to “How Do I Synchronize Calendar, E-mail,
Contact Data and More between My HP iPAQ and PC (installing
Microsoft ActiveSync and establishing Partnerships)?” in the How Do
I Guide located on the Companion CD.
