Restarting your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld
You do not usually need to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
However, your CLIÉ handheld may no longer turn on or respond to your
operations for some reason. In such a case, you may be able to solve your
problem by resetting your CLIÉ handheld to restart.
To perform a reset, follow the steps below to get your CLIÉ handheld running
again.
Performing a soft reset
All records and entries stored on your CLIÉ handheld are retained even after
performing a soft reset.
2 Use the stylus pin to gently press the RESET button.

powered,” “CLIÉ” and “SONY” followed
by the Preferences screen for setting the
time and date.
Notes
• Do not press the RESET button again until the Preferences screen is displayed.
• Always press the RESET button with the stylus pin, as malfunction may occur if
you use other objects.
Performing a hard reset
If a soft reset does not solve your problem, you need to perform a hard reset to
restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Notes
• By performing a hard reset, all records and add-on applications stored
on your CLIÉ handheld will be erased.
