Resetting to factory default settings
Reset the handheld to factory default settings to restore the handheld to it’s original
state, or only if a soft reset and then a hard reset does not resolve the problem.

CAUTION – Resetting the handheld to factory default settings erases all data, installed
applications, and settings stored in the handheld, except for any data or applications that
were pre-installed on the handheld or are stored on a storage card. It does not change the
language of the operating system used on the handheld.

CAUTION – If you have encrypted files on a storage card and you reset the handheld to
factory default settings, the encryption key on the handheld is deleted. This means that
any files you have encrypted on a storage card are permanently locked and unreadable by
any device. For more information, see Encrypting files on storage cards, page 36.

Tip – To quickly and easily restore data deleted by performing a factory reset, synchronize

Power key until the
device reboots.
