Resetting:
Reset is equal to "Restarting" of a computer. Reset your Pocket PC when a button or tapping the screen does not respond. When your Toshiba Pocket PC is reset, all data that was not stored during operation will be deleted. Stored data will be saved. This is known as a soft reset.
- When the power is on, press the reset button with the stylus, then release.
This should reset the unit. If this does not solve the problem you can try initializing the unit.
Initializing:
When you initialize your Toshiba Pocket PC, it returns to the status when it was purchased. Also known as a hard reset.
Important note: When you initialize your Pocket PC, all data stored in the memory is deleted. Your Pocket PC's initially installed programs are not deleted. Before initialization, remove all storage cards.
- Turn off the power.
- Press the power button while pressing and holding the reset switch with the stylus, and then release the power button.
- When a screen appears, release the reset switch. When initialization is completed, the Welcome screen appears. Set up the system according to the screen as in the case of startup procedure.
Location of the reset switch - See the Users Guide for a picture with the location. In general though, the reset switch is located inside a small hole, about the size of the stylus tip. The hole is on the side of the unit towards the bottom for the e7xx series and the e5xx series. For the e3xx series it is on the back of the unit.
