To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold the iPAQ Mobile Media ( ) and iTask ()
buttons on your HP iPAQ.
2. While holding the iPAQ Mobile Media and iTask buttons,
use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom
of your HP iPAQ for about three seconds or until the screen
begins to fade.
3. When the iPAQ screen begins to fade, release the iPAQ
Mobile Media and iTasks buttons then remove the stylus
from the Reset button. The HP iPAQ resets and powers on.
If the HP iPAQ does not power on after a reset, try the following:
■ Check the battery door to ensure it is locked. If not,
replace the battery door by matching the tabs on the cover
to the latches on the HP iPAQ and snap it into place. This
action locks the battery door. If the battery door is not
locked, the HP iPAQ does not power on. For more
information, refer to “Managing the Battery” in the
User’s Guide located on the Companion CD.
■ Perform a soft reset on your HP iPAQ. Refer to “How Do
I Regain Functionality if My HP iPAQ Locks Up or Runs
Slowly (Perform a Soft “Normal” Reset)?” described in
this document.
