even after performing a soft reset.

malfunction may occur.

followed by the Preferences screen for setting up the time and date.

If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you will need to perform a hard
reset to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Notes
• All records and add-on applications stored on your CLIÉ
handheld will be erased by performing a hard reset. (All records
and add-on applications stored on Internal Media will be retained.)

   release the stylus.
