Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Performing a hard reset
If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset
to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Note
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are
erased. Perform a hard reset only if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
You can restore your CLIÉ handheld data if you save a back-up on your
computer or Memory Stick media. For details on how to save a back-up, see
“Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ handheld” on page 189.
1Set your CLIÉ handheld in the “opened style,” and hold down
the POWER button on your CLIÉ handheld.
2While holding down the POWER button, use the reset tip to
gently press and release the reset button.
The Palm Powered logo screen is displayed.
3Release the POWER button.
A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
CLIÉ handheld is displayed.
4Press the scroll button on the keyboard panel of your CLIÉ
handheld upwards.
Your CLIÉ handheld undergoes a hard reset.
After a hard reset, only the current date and time are retained. Formats,
Preferences, and other settings are restored to their factory default
settings.
Note
If the scroll button was used just prior to hard-resetting, the hard-reset may not be
performed.

10Tap OK.
The Date Book screen is displayed again.
The repeat 
 icon is displayed to the far right of the event.
Notes
•If you change the start date of a repeating event, your CLIÉ handheld
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your CLIÉ handheld
then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the
repeating event.
•If you change the repeat interval (for example, daily to weekly) of a
repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change
the setting) are not changed, and your CLIÉ handheld creates a new
repeating event.
•If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (for example,
from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences,
the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your CLIÉ
handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
•If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, private) of a
repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your CLIÉ
handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day
on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the
change) are not changed.
•If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (for
example, time), that occurrence no longer shows the repeat 
 icon.
