Resetting the Device
There are three kinds of reset that you can perform on your device when
the device’s operating system stops responding or the system becomes
corrupted. Depending on the situation, a warm boot, clean boot, or cold
boot can be performed.
Warm Boot
You may have to perform a warm boot if the device freezes (i.e., device no
longer responds to the buttons on the screen).
To perform a warm boot:
A warm boot or soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to
rebooting a computer. This will restart your device and adjust memory
allocation. All records and entries are retained after a warm boot. Unsaved
data in open programs may in some cases be lost.
1
Remove the stylus from its holder.
2
Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located on the rear
of the device.
