Performing a hardware reset

You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds 
to the buttons or tapping on the screen).

Performing a Warm Boot

A warm boot 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 

PA600.
