Performing a hardware reset

You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds
to the buttons on the screen).
A 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 soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may in some cases be lost.

Performing a Warm Boot

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.
