Alexina,
the soft reset hole is on the back of the device, on the bottom right. It appears to be just a hole in the casing, but the stylus can be used to push the button that's actually inside. A white screen with the Hp iPaq logo will then appear on your screen, and it should take about 30-40 secs for the PDA to reboot.
You should do this on average about once a week on general principles, and whenever a program is misbehaving, or your PDA starts behaving a little oddly or sluggishly. I'd also recommend using the backup program religiously (you can find this through Start->Programs->iPaq Backup), preferably saving the backup to an external card. I'd recommend investing in a CF card for preference, as the h2210 is notorious for corrupting SD cards and the CF slot is slightly faster on this machine as well. This will save some grief if for some reason you encounter some insurmountable problem, or a spontaneous hard reset, or a flat battery.
I'd also check to see if you have the latest ROM update installed - it should be 1.10. The ROM upgrade basically patches most of the bugs (the SD card interface for one, bluetooth for another) that plagued earlier versions.
BTW congratulations on your purchase - it's a sweet device, and I have very fond memories about it.
