Resetting Your HP iPAQ

Perform a reset if your HP iPAQ stops responding. The two types of resets
are soft and factory.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset stops all running applications, but does not erase any programs
or saved data.
NOTE Be sure to close all running applications before performing a
soft reset.
To perform a soft reset:
1. Locate the recessed Reset button on your HP iPAQ.
2. Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button.
The HP iPAQ restarts and displays the HP QuickStart Tour.

Performing a Factory Reset

A factory reset erases all user-installed settings, programs, and data, and
restores your HP iPAQ to factory settings.
CAUTION All user-installed settings, programs, and data are erased
from memory with a factory reset.
To perform a factory reset and return your HP iPAQ to factory settings:
1. Press and hold the OK and Rotate Screen buttons.
2. While holding these buttons, use the stylus to lightly press the Reset
button on the HP iPAQ until the device restarts.
3. When the HP iPAQ restarts, release all of the buttons, and then remove
the stylus from the Reset button.
The HP iPAQ restarts and powers on.
