Getting to Know Your HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger

Performing a Hard Reset

Perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset) when you want to clear 

all settings, programs, and data from RAM.

CAUTION:  If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its default 

settings and loses all information that is not recorded in ROM or iPAQ 

File Store.

To perform a hard reset:
1.

Press and hold down the Power button.

2.

While holding the Power button, use the stylus to lightly press the 

recessed Reset button on the bottom of the HP iPAQ for about 

five seconds.

3.

The HP iPAQ screen fades and the device resets. Once the device 

resets and the screen comes back on, release the Power button 

and remove the stylus from the Reset button.

Aligning the Screen

When the HP iPAQ is turned on for the first time, you are guided through 

a screen alignment process. You must realign your screen if:
•

The HP iPAQ does not respond accurately to your taps.

•

You perform a hard reset of your HP iPAQ.

To realign the HP iPAQ screen:
1.

From the Start menu, tap Settings > System tab > 

Screen icon.

2.

Tap the Align Screen button.
