Performing a soft reset
All records and entries stored on your CLIÉ handheld are retained even after
performing a soft reset.

The system shuts down and then restarts.
After restarting, the system displays “palm

setting up the time and date.

screen is displayed. Be sure not to press the RESET button again while resetting.

a malfunction.
