Appendix: Troubleshooting
Reset the Pocket PC and clear memory
To reset the Pocket PC
If your Pocket PC responds slowly, stops responding as expected, or “freezes,” try resetting it. A
reset causes the Pocket PC to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open
windows may be lost.
•Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two seconds.
To clear memory
If you forget your Pocket PC password or want to clear all data from your Pocket PC and return it
to the factory settings, clear memory.
Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC to its default settings.
Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have
installed are erased.
1. Turn the Pocket PC on.
2. Press and hold the Power button, and use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for
about two seconds.
3. If a message appears on the screen, confirm that you want to clear memory.
