Resetting the MobilePro 790
Occasionally you may need to reset your NEC MobilePro. For instance, you may need to reset after restoring data from your host PC, 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 host PC.
! 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 host PC.
For more information, see the section in Chapter 3, 'Backing Up and Restoring Data.'
Using the Soft Reset Button
Before using the soft reset button to reset the MobilePro, close any open files or applications, if possible. When you soft reset the MobilePro, you may lose open/unsaved files.
Follow these steps to use the soft reset button to reset the MobilePro.
1. Open the display panel and remove the stylus from its holder.
2. Power on the MobilePro.
3. Turn over the MobilePro.
4. Locate the soft reset button on the bottom of the MobilePro.
5. Using the stylus, press the soft reset button. (You may need to press
the button more than once.) This resets the unit.
Using the Full Reset Button
Use the full reset button only when your unit does not respond after doing all of the following:
! Installing a charged battery.
! Connecting the unit to an AC power source.
! Verifying that the battery lock is in the locked position.
! Using the soft reset button to reset the system.
Using the full reset button to reset your
MobilePro returns your unit to its original shipping configuration. All data and applications are erased from RAM. All open/unsaved files are lost and all user specific data such as contacts, tasks, etc., are erased.
You can only restore data that has been backed up to your host PC. For more information, see the section in Chapter 3, 'Backing Up and Restoring Data.'
The full reset button is located inside of the main battery's bay. Follow
these steps to remove the battery before using the full reset button to reset the NEC MobilePro.

your MobilePro.
