How Do I Perform a Hard ("Full")
Reset?
Perform a hard reset when you want to clear all settings,
applications, and data from RAM (Random Access Memory,

If the battery installed in your HP iPAQ discharges completely,
your HP iPAQ will operate as if a hard reset had been performed
once the battery has been recharged.

CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your HP iPAQ returns to its
default settings and loses all information (files, settings, etc.) that is not
recorded in ROM. Information stored in iPAQ File Store will not be lost.
For more information on using iPAQ File Store, see "Using the iPAQ File
Store Folder" in Chapter 5 of the User's Guide located on the
