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.
20
LG GM730 | User Guide
To perform a soft reset
Find the Soft reset key. This is the small hole inside the charger socket cover on the right hand side of your device (shown enclosed by circles in the picture below). Use the stylus to press the reset key and hold it for a while. Your device may shut down. Press the POWER button, the device restarts and displays the Home Screen.
Soft reset key
To perform a hard reset
A Hard Reset should only be performed after all other trouble shooting options have been exhausted. 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.

Unsupported features in Excel Mobile
Excel Mobile does not fully support some features such as formulas and cell comments. Some data and formatting may be lost when you save the workbook on your device. Note the following Excel Mobile formatting considerations:
86
LG GM730 | User Guide
Alignment. Horizontal, vertical, and wrap-text attributes remain the same, but vertical text appears horizontal.
Borders. Appear as a single line.
Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells are removed.
Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by your device are mapped to the closest font available. The original font is listed on your device. When the workbook is opened in Excel on your PC again, the data is displayed in the original font.
Number formats. Numbers formatted using the Microsoft Excel 2007 Version 6.1 conditional formatting feature are displayed in Number format.
Formulas and functions. If an Excel file contains a function that is not supported by Excel Mobile, the function is removed, and only the returned value of the function appears. The following formulas are also converted to values: formulas entered as an array or containing an array argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4}); formulas containing external link references or an intersection range reference; and formulas containing references past row 16384 are replaced with #REF!
Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet zoom setting, while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to the entire workbook.
Worksheet names. Names that reference worksheets within the same workbook are displayed accurately, but names that refer to other workbooks, arrays,
for example, ={1;2;3;4}, array formulas, or intersection ranges are removed from the name list. If a name is removed from the list, it is left in formulas and functions, causing those formulas to be resolved as “#NAME?” All hidden names are not hidden.
AutoFilter settings. Are removed. However, you can use the AutoFilter command in Excel Mobile to perform similar functions. If you have an AutoFilter applied to a worksheet that causes rows to be hidden, the rows remain hidden when the file is opened in Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide command to display the hidden rows.
Chart formatting. All charts will be saved the way they are shown in Excel Mobile. Unsupported chart types are changed to one of these supported types: Column, Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter, and Area.
