To Perform A Soft Reset - HP 700 Series User Manual

160 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC
• Soft reset—A soft reset (also called "warm boot") is similar to
restarting your desktop PC. It restarts the operating system
and preserves any saved data.
• Factory default reset—A factory default reset (also called
"hard reset") restores your HP Jornada to its original state,
erasing all information you have entered.
To ensure the safety of your information in case a factory default
reset is necessary, you should regularly back up your data to your
desktop PC (using Microsoft ActiveSync) or to a CompactFlash or
PC Card (using the HP Jornada backup application). For more
information on backing up data, see the Backing up and
restoring data section in chapter 5.
Perform a soft reset after restoring data from a backup file or
when your HP Jornada appears to be frozen or locked up.
