Resetting the SPT 1800
If your SPT 1800 stops responding to input, you may need to
perform a reset.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset restarts the SPT 1800
and saves all records and entries
stored in your SPT 1800 terminal.
After a soft reset, the Palm
Computing Platform
®
Logo screen
appears followed by the General
Preferences screen.
To perform a soft reset, remove the
battery cover and gently press the
reset button located under the battery cover.
Performing a Hard Reset
A hard reset also restarts your terminal, but erases all records and
entries stored in your SPT 1800.
Therefore, 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.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Hold down the power button on the front of the SPT 1800,
and gently press the reset button.
3. Release the reset button, then release the power button
when the Palm logo appears.
4. When a message appears on the screen warning that you
are about to erase all data, do one of the following:
a. Press the upper half of a scroll button to complete the
hard reset.
b. Press any other button to perform a soft reset.
