A soft reset, also known as a warm boot, will restart the terminal and keep all the saved files.
To perform a soft reset, use the stylus to press the [Reset] button.
During operation, the removal of battery pack will start a soft reset too.
Warning: Data loss may occur when files are not properly closed before a soft reset.
3.2.2 Hard Reset
A hard reset, also known as a cold boot, will restart the terminal too. However, it performs a
full restore of the terminal to its factory settings and initializes SDRAM. To perform a hard
reset, press the [Power] key and [Reset] button at the same time.
Data and program files stored in SDRAM will be erased after a hard reset. But you can
restore data that is previously synchronized with your computer by performing an
ActiveSync
operation.
Warning: Only the files stored in the Flash File System are retained during a hard
reset.
