default settings and loses all information that is not recorded in iPAQ File Storage.

To perform a full reset:

1. Press and hold the Power button.

2. Press the Reset button on the side (h4100) or bottom (h4300) of the iPAQ Pocket PC with the stylus.

Synchronizing with Your Computer

After you have installed ActiveSync, you can:

■ Create partnerships that enable you to synchronize

information with up to two computers.

■ Select information to be synchronized with your iPAQ Pocket

PC (for example, Contacts, Calendar, Inbox, Tasks, Favorites, Files, Notes, and AvantGo).

Note: When you synchronize files, you can drag and drop the selected files from your computer to the synchronized folder on your iPAQ Pocket PC. If you named your device “PC1” when you created your partnership, then the synchronized folder is named “PC1.” When you synchronize, the files move to and from your iPAQ Pocket PC.

Special Key Features

The integrated keyboard takes advantage of several special features to make using a small keyboard easier.

“Sticky” Keys

The integrated keyboard uses a “Sticky Key” feature for the Shift, Menu, and Fn keys (known as “key modifiers”). This means that
