Resetting the device
Occasionally you may need to reset
your device. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active
program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be
useful when the device is running
slower than normal, or a program
is not performing properly. A soft
reset is also necessary after the
installation of some programs.
If a soft reset is performed when
programs are running, unsaved
work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset
(also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should only be performed
if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset,
the device is restored to its default
settings—the way it was when
you first purchased it and turned
it on. Any programs you installed,
data you entered, and settings you
customized on the device will be
lost.

may shut down. Press the POWER
