RESETTING THE MOBILE PRO
Occasionally you may need to reset your NEC MobilePro. For instance, you may need to reset after restoring data
from your desktop or notebook computer, after modifying the MobilePro’s configuration, when you are unable to
power on using the Power button, or when the operating system stops responding.
The NEC MobilePro is equipped with two reset buttons, designed for use depending upon specific conditions. The two
reset buttons are:

Soft Reset Button – The soft reset button allows you to restart the NEC MobilePro operating system while preserving
any saved data. This method is similar to a “warm boot” on your desktop or notebook computer.
Full Reset Button – The full reset button restores your system to its original shipping configuration, erasing all
information that you have entered

Note: To ensure the safety of your information at all times, you should perform regular backups of
your MobilePro information to your desktop or notebook computer.

3. Turn over the MobilePro.
