The sample was cooled to 10 K from room temperature in the magnetic cooling field of 4000 Oe. Then we used 1500 Oe declined perturbation field to pin the magnetiza- tion orientation of the FM layer. The perturbation field forms certain angle Θ with the cooling field direction in-plane to re-induce the untrained state. The dependence of the untrained state on the angle between the di- rection of perturbation field and cooling field has been investigated. The AMR results reveal that the re-induced degree of untrained state is strongly correlated to the angle Θ. The exchange bias field HE for dif- ferent Θ has been determined from the AMR results, which is in apparent agreement with the Meik- lejohn-Bean model. The recover degree of untrained state is the largest when the angle is 75˚, which is dif- ferent from the traditional view point that untrained state should be the m
