Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset erases all records and entries stored in your
handheld. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does
not solve the problem. To restore your data after a hard reset,
you must perform a HotSync operation. For more information
on performing a HotSync operation, see "Performing a Local
HotSync Operation" on page 253.
Note:
You can restore any data
previously synchronized
with your computer during
the next HotSync
operation.
Note:
With a hard reset, the
current date and time are
retained. Formats,
Preferences, and other
settings are restored to
their factory default
settings.
