INTRODUCTION TO M-MDS
03 - PDA Navigation
Activity 03- Page 7
Reset button
Now that you have mastered basic PDA navigation, perform a soft reset so the PDA
will be ready to use with M-MDS. The soft reset deletes data that has not been saved,
such as the current vehicle session, but saves data previously stored in the PDA’s
memory.
To perform a soft reset, use the stylus to press the reset button one time on the back
of the PDA, as shown in the picture below.
NOTE
On an HP PDA, the reset button is in a different location. Ask your instructor if you
are not sure where the reset button is located.
Conclusion:
In this activity, you performed basic PDA navigation to view battery status, adjust
screen brightness, and adjust screen “on time.” You also learned “soft resetting”
the PDA.
