To perform a soft reset:
■
Use the reset tip tool, or 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 PC companion.
Tip:
The metal and plastic stylus that comes with your PC
companion has a reset tip inside. To use it, unscrew the metal
barrel from the stylus quill.
Performing a hard reset
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your PC companion
are erased. 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.
To perform a hard reset:
1. Hold down the power button on the front panel of the PC
companion.
2. While holding down the power button, use the reset tip tool, or the
tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip)
to gently press and release the reset button.
3. Wait for the Palm ™ logo to appear; then release the power button.
