Resetting the Proton
On rare occasions, the Proton may report an internal Proton error
message, instructing you to press ‘R’ to reset. Doing so will return
the Proton to normal operation after a few minutes. Try sending
yourself a message and check that all the information has been
properly restored in the
6WDWXV
screen.
There is also a tiny hole located on the back of the Proton below the
bottom label. You can access it to reset the Proton. Normally, you
will not need to use this button. However, if the Proton ‘locks up’
(no longer responds when you press keys or use the trackwheel)
you may choose to use this method to reset the Proton. A fine-
tipped instrument, such as a paper clip, can be inserted into this
hole to press the reset button, restarting and restoring the Proton to
normal operation.
Messages and other information stored on the Proton will not be
lost. If you were in the process of composing a message, however,
the message will be lost.
Resetting your Proton will not lose the connection with your PC.
After you reset your Proton, synchronize with the Proton Desktop
