Resetting
Occasionally, you will need to reset your HP Jornada, for example, after you
restore data from your desktop PC or when the operating system stops
responding. There are two methods of resetting:
•
Soft reset

your desktop PC. It restarts the operating system and preserves any
saved data.
•
Full reset
—A full reset (also called “hard reset”) restores your
HP Jornada to its original state, erasing all information you have entered.
To ensure the safety of your information in case a full reset is necessary, you
should regularly back up your data to your desktop PC (using Windows CE
Services) or to a CompactFlash or PC Card (using the HP Jornada backup
application). For more information on backing up data, see the
