When you reset the Newton, the clock is reset to the last saved time. The
time is saved about once every 5 minutes, so the result is that the clock
can lose up to 5 minutes each time you reset.
The time isnUt saved while the Newton is asleep, so resetting the Newton
from a slept state could result in a > 5 minute time loss. Wake up your
Newton before resetting it.
The clock is also reset to the saved time when the Newton in restored from
a backup on a PCMCIA card or from the Newton Connection application.
