182  Managing Your Device

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) reset 

of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all 

active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower 

than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is 

also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is 

performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

Use the stylus to press the RESET button found at the bottom of your 

device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard 

reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system 

problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the 

way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you 

installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will 

be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs 

will remain.

Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use 

the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.

Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons 

until you see the following message on the screen:
