Palm Tungsten T hard reset

Resetting your handheld
Under normal circumstances you will not have to use the reset button. On rare
occasions, however, your handheld may no longer respond to buttons or to the
screen. In this case you need to perform a reset to get your handheld running
again.

Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over again. All
records and entries stored in your handheld are retained with a soft reset. After a
soft reset, the Preferences screen appears and the Date and Time option is
highlighted so you can reset the date and time if needed.
To perform a soft reset:
1. Open your handheld.

2. Use the tip of your stylus or an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a
sharp tip), to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of
your handheld.
