7.2 Restoring Factory Default State
In some cases, you may need to restore your Pocket PC to the factory default
state by clearing the memory (RAM) from your Pocket PC. For example, you
should clear the memory:
When your Pocket PC does not respond after being reset.
When you forget your password.
Clearing the memory means all data you have entered in RAM, including all
files, system settings and additional programs you have installed, will be erased.
(Programs installed to ROM at the factory are not affected.)
CAUTION:
To ensure the integrity of your data should it be necessary to clear the memory, you’re
advised to regularly back up your data. (For more information on backing up data, see
section 3.5.)
Do not slide the ON/OFF Switch unless it is necessary.
Follow this procedure to clear the memory from your Pocket PC:
1. Backup your information if necessary.
2. Disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter, from your Pocket PC.
3. Stop all running programs by tapping
Settings System tab Memory icon Running
Programs
tab Stop All.
4. Use the stylus to slide the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF (up) position.
5. Wait for 1 minute and then slide the switch back
to the ON (down) position.
6. Your Pocket PC will automatically turn on and
prompt you to start the setup wizard.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the
setup wizard.
Wait for 1 minute.
