Resetting the Unit
???Reset??? is similar to a computer reboot. Performing a reset deletes any data that is in the process of being input or edited, without yet being saved. Data stored in memory and all settings, however, are retained.
Perform the reset operation whenever the unit fails to operate correctly due to operational error or some other abnormality. Any of the following symptoms indicate that reset is required.
???Failure of the unit to respond when the screen is tapped or a button is pressed
???The hourglass icon remaining on the screen
Performing a Reset
1. Use the stylus to press the RESET button.
???The unit performs a reset followed by a memory check operation.
If no data error is found, the following two screens appear on the display in succession.
???Startup screen
???Desktop
2. Normal unit operation is possible after the desktop appears.
??? Memory data and settings are retained when you reset the Pocket PC.
Important
If the above operation does not solve the problem, perform a full reset (memory initialize, page 36).
34
Memory Error Message
If the memory check operation that the unit performs when the RESET button is pressed detects a data error, the following message appears on the screen instead of the startup screen.
???A problem with memory contents has been found. Press [Action] to continue with the reset procedure, which restores normal system operation.
Note that if the system determines that user memory cannot be repaired, it will delete all user data currently in memory.
See the User???s Guide for details about initializing memory.???
This message indicates that the memory error is fatal and so recovery is impossible. Press the [Action] control to execute a full reset (memory initialize), which deletes all data stored in memory.
???Pressing the [Action] control should display the Startup screen followed by the touch screen calibration screen. Perform steps 5 through 6 under ???Initial Setup??? on page 12 to set up the unit.
???If pressing the [Action] control returns to the desktop without displaying the startup screen first, see the following explanation for the procedure you need to follow.
What to do if the startup screen does not appear when you press the
[Action] control
Even though the desktop appears when you press the [Action] control, there is still a data error in memory and you have to perform a full reset (memory initialize). Before you do, however, there is the chance that some of the data in memory can be recalled and even transferred to a computer. Try recalling the data you need before performing the procedure described on the next page to perform a full reset.
Important 
Do not use the ActiveSync backup function to back up data to a computer when you suspect a data error. Doing so may also include the corrupted data that is causing your problem, which means the problem will reappear when you restore the data.
35
Full Reset (Memory Initialize)
Full reset (memory initialize) deletes all data, and resets all unit parameters to their initial defaults.
The following are conditions when you should perform a full reset.
???When you want to delete all memory data and return unit settings to their factory defaults
???When you forget your password and need to clear it
???When a data error causes operational problems
???Appearance of the message: ???A problem with memory contents has been found...???
Performing a Full Reset
Important
???The following procedure deletes all data in memory. Be sure that data is backed up or that you no longer need it before performing the following procedure.
???If there is a CompactFlash card in the CASSIOPEIA???s slot, remove the card before performing the full reset.
1.Make sure that unit power is turned on.
2.While holding down the [Power] button, use the stylus to hold down the RESET button for about two seconds.
??? This causes the following message to appear on the display screen.
???Proceeding with this operation initializes memory. Press [Action] to proceed or [Record] to cancel.???
3. Press the [Action] control.
??? This causes the following message to appear on the display screen.
???Proceeding with this operation deletes all data stored in memory. Press [Action] to proceed or [Record] to cancel.???
