Clean Reset
On Windows Mobile 5.0 products, a hard (full) reset stops all running programs, but does not clear user data or applications because they are stored in ROM (Persistent Store feature). A hard reset also resets all hardware registers. Users can perform a Clean Reset, in which the product is cleared to its factory defaults. A clean reset returns the device to the default Windows Mobile 5.0 settings with no user data or applications.
To perform a clean reset please follow these steps:
- Press and hold down the Contacts and Inbox buttons.
- While holding down these buttons, use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom of the iPaq Pocket PC for about two seconds.
