(c) On the Screen window, tap the Align Screen button.•Hardware launchingSimultaneously press the Power button and joystick. 2 Tap the center of the cross with your stylus as it moves around the screen. Creating backup filesAny additional programs or new data in your device are stored in RAM (random access memory). These items are lost if you have to perform a hard reset or your device loses all power for any other reason. Because of this, it is imperative that you regularly back up files to your computer via ActiveSync or to a storage card using the device’s built-in SD/MMC slot.If you have access to your computer, use ActiveSync to synchronize files to create backup files of information stored on your device. Refer to page 28 for more information on using ActiveSync.In instances where you are unable to access your computer, you can back up files to an SD or MMC card.You have the following options: •Back up individual files using the Cut and Paste commands in File Explorer.•Back up individual Word, Excel or Notes files using the Rename/Move command. Follow the steps below. (1) Insert an SD or MMC card into the SD/MMC slot on the top of your device. See page 18 for instructions on installing an SD/MMC card. (2) Open the file you want to back up. (3) Tap Menu, File, then Rename/Move.(4) On the Rename/Move screen, enter a file name in the Name field. (5) Tap the Location pick list, then select Storage Card.(6) Tap the Folder pick list, then select the folder where you want to save the file. (7) Tap OK.(8) After the backup process, remove the card from the slot.
1 First Things FirstSystem procedures6Resetting the deviceYou may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to the buttons on the screen). To perform a soft reset:A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This restarts your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are retained after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may in some cases be lost. 1 Remove the stylus from its holder.2 Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located on the lower-left side of the device.To perform a hard reset: A hard reset removes power to your device. This erases all records and entries, deletes all programs you have added, and restores the device default factory settings. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a storage card.NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the date and time settings are not be retained. Formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to their default factory settings.1 Hold down the Power and Record buttons. 2 While holding down the Power and Record buttons, gently press the tip of the stylus to the Reset button.The message “To clear all data in the memory, press Volume Up button.
