On the reset screen, do one of the
following:
Quick Erase Press Up on the 5-way
navigator to do a Quick Erase reset.
This eliminates user information on
the drive in such a way that there is
no info available to anyone using the
device. A Quick Erase reset takes
approximately 5 minutes.
Secure Erase Press Down on the
5-way to do a Secure Erase reset.
This completely deletes all user info
on the drive. A Secure Erase reset
takes about 20-25 minutes.
Do a Secure Erase reset if you are turning the device over to a
new owner. A Secure Erase helps prevent your files from being restored or
recompiled by a new owner who might remove the hard drive and use a drive
reader to access your information. Do a Quick Erase reset for a regular hard
reset, to get your device to wake up and respond again.
If you use a password
to protect your device, you must do a Secure
Erase when you hard reset your device; the Quick Erase option does not appear
on the reset screen.
During the reset process, a status screen appears with the words “Quick Erase”
or “Secure Erase” and a progress bar, followed by screens showing the
palmOne, Palm Powered™ and LifeDrive™ logos.
