Using Graffiti writing to enter data  
This section explains the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation,  
®
and symbols, as well as teaching you some Graffiti tips and tricks.  
What is Graffiti writing?  
Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only  
minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a  
standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case  
letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.  
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing:  
• If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later in this  
chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram), you can  
achieve 100% accuracy.  
Graffiti writing examples:  
A, B, C, D, and E  
• The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain  
characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points.  
Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot (you should not create the  
heavy dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke).  
• Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from  
the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE handheld recognizes and displays the  
text character immediately.  
To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some  
Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.  
• The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the  
letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small marks at  
the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area separate the two areas.  
Write letters here  
Write numbers here  
Division marks

Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld  
Writing Graffiti letters  
Tap where you want your text to go.  
1
Note  
You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing  
cursor before you write the text.  
Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke  
shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the  
stroke shown below creates the letter "n".  
2
Note  
There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters,  
choose the one that's easiest for you.  
Lift stylus here  
Start stroke at heavy dot  
As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper  
case and lower case version of a letter.  
Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing  
area.  
3
Position the stylus  
Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape  
as it appears in the tables.  
4
Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.  
5
That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your  
CLIE handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter  
at the insertion point on the screen.  
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for  
the next character you want to write.

Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld  
Note  
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not  
make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE handheld does not  
recognize them as text characters.  
Tips on Graffiti writing  
• Accuracy improves when you write large characters, You should draw strokes that  
nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.  
• To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character you  
want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the  
Graffiti writing area.  
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.  
• Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti  
writing area.  
• Press firmly.  
To display the Graffiti onscreen help  
Drag the stylus from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen. Graffiti  
Help opens a series of screens that show the complete Graffiti character set.

you want to import data from another handheld, you can transfer the data to your  
CLIE handheld and use it without entering data manually. Save the data in a  
compatible file format (.csv, .txt, .tab, .tsv, .dba, .aba, .tda, .mpa), import it into your  
Palm Desktop for Sony software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer  
the data to your CLIE handheld. For details, see “Chapter 3: Exchanging and  
®
updating data using a HotSync operation.”

Notes  
• If you change the start date of a repeating event, your CLIE handheld  
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your CLIE handheld  
then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the  
repeating event.  
• If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating  
event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting)  
are not changed, and your CLIE handheld creates a new repeating event.  
• If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from  
January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new  
date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your CLIE handheld  
adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.  
• If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a  
repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your CLIE  
handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day  
on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the  
change) are not changed.  
• If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g.,  
time), that occurrence no longer shows the repeat  
icon.

Categorizing records  
You can categorize records in Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and  
Expense applications for easy retrieval. (Date Book does not have  
categories.) When you create a record, it is automatically assigned to the  
currently displayed category. For example, if the All category is displayed,  
the record is assigned to the Unfiled category. A record can remain unfiled  
or it can be assigned to a category at any time.  
System-defined and user-defined categories  
By default, your CLIE handheld includes system-defined categories, such as  
All and Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal.  
You cannot modify the system-defined categories, but you can rename or  
delete the user-defined categories. In addition, you can create your own  
user-defined categories. You can have a maximum of 15 user-defined  
categories in each application.  
Tips  
• Address Book contains the QuickList user-defined category, in which you can store  
the names, addresses, and phone numbers that you might need in emergencies  
(doctors, fire department, lawyers, etc.).  
• Expense contains two user-defined categories, New York and Paris, to show how  
you might sort your expenses according to different business trips.

What is a HotSync® operation?  
A HotSync® operation is a one-step operation that allows you to synchronize  
data between your CLIE handheld and your computer. With just one press  
on the HotSync button, you can synchronize your CLIE handheld  
application data with the Palm™ Desktop for CLIE software data on your  
computer, back up the data of your CLIE handheld on your computer, or  
install add-on applications.  
HotSync operation allows you to do the following:  
1 Synchronize the Date Book, the Address Book, the To Do List, the Memo  
Pad, and the Expense data on your CLIE handheld and your computer.  
The Palm Desktop for CLIE software can manage the data of multiple  
CLIE handhelds independently.  
2 Back up the data stored on your CLIE handheld onto your computer.  
Synchronization ensures that your data is always safe and up-to-date. In  
case you need to perform a hard reset, a HotSync operation allows you  
to restore the data.  
3 Import the data on your computer or install add-on applications onto  
your CLIE handheld.  
Note  
You cannot perform an IR HotSync operation with a computer running the Windows®  
2000 Professional operating system.

Customizing HotSync application settings (Conduit)  
What is a Conduit?  
For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how  
records are handled during synchronization. Each set of these options is  
called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files  
between your CLIE handheld and the Palm Desktop for CLIE software.  
In general, you should leave the settings as they are to synchronize all files.  
The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data  
on either your CLIE handheld or the Palm Desktop for CLIE software, or to  
avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you do not use it.  
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo  
Pad, and Expense, the Palm Desktop for CLIE software offers System and  
Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored  
on your CLIE handheld. The Install conduit installs add-on applications to  
your CLIE handheld.

Creating a user profile to control multiple CLIE handhelds  
If your company introduces multiple CLIE handhelds to its employees, for  
example, you can create a user profile (such as a company phone list) to load  
the data into several CLIE handhelds without associating that data with a  
user name.  
Notes  
• This feature is designed only for the first HotSync operation (before you have  
assigned a User ID to a particular CLIE handheld).  
• For the procedure used to send a profile after setting user names, see “Synchronizing

Conducting an IR HotSync operation  
You can use the IR (infrared) port of your CLIE handheld to perform an IR  
HotSync operation with a computer equipped with an IrDA (Infrared Data  
Association) IR port. An IR HotSync operation allows you to perform a  
HotSync operation without using the cradle.  
Before you start performing an IR HotSync operation  
Check the following:  
• Your computer’s operating system is not Windows® 2000. (You cannot  
perform an IR HotSync operation with a computer running the Windows  
2000 operating system.)  
• Your computer is equipped with an infrared port supporting the IrDA  
standards.  
• The infrared port of your computer is enabled for Windows use.  
To enable the IR port with Windows, see the manual of the computer you  
are using or the Windows online help.  
• Which port number is allocated to the infrared port.  
Check the infrared port number in the Infrared Monitor in the Control  
Panel. For information on the Infrared Monitor, see the manual of the  
computer you are using or the Windows online help.

Conducting a HotSync operation via a network  
When you use the Network HotSync application, you can take advantage of  
the LAN and WAN connectivity available in many office environments. The  
Network HotSync application enables you to perform a HotSync operation  
by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle that is connected to any  
computer on your LAN or WAN (provided that the computer connected to  
the cradle also has the Network HotSync application installed, your  
computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).  
To connect to your companys dial-in server  
The Network HotSync application requires the following:  
• Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.  
• Both your company’s network system and its remote access server  
support TCP/IP.  
• You have a remote access account.  
Everything you need to connect to your company’s dial-in server (network  
modem) is included in the Palm Desktop for CLIE software and your CLIE  
handheld. You need to activate certain features, however, on both the Palm

Beaming between your Sony CLIE Handheld  
®
and another Palm OS PDA  
What you can do with beaming  
Your Sony handheld is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use  
to beam information to another Palm OS® PDA device that’s close by and  
also has an IR port. The IR port is located at the top of your CLIE handheld,  
behind the small dark shield.  
IR port  
You can beam the following information between your CLIE handheld and  
another Palm OS PDA:  
• The record currently displayed in Address Book, Date Book, To Do List,  
or Memo Pad.  
• All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book, Date  
Book, To Do List, or Memo Pad.  
• A special Address Book record that you designate as your business card.  
• An application installed in RAM memory.  
Note  
Some applications are protected and cannot be beamed, as indicated by a lock  
icon to the side of applications.

Using Memory Stick media  
®
What is Memory Stick media?  
®
“Memory Stick ” media is a new compact, portable and versatile Integrated  
Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.  
“Memory Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing  
digital data among “Memory Stick” media compatible products such as a  
digital video camera. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” media can  
also be used for external data storage.  
“Memory Stick” media allows you to exchange data between your CLIE  
handheld and your computer or a digital camera that supports “Memory  
Stick” media. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your CLIE  
handheld uses the supplied Memory Stick Gate (MS Gate) software.  
Types of Memory Stickmedia  
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:  
• “MagicGate Memory Stick” media equipped with “MagicGate” copyright  
protection technology. “MagicGate Memory Stick” media is distinguished  
by the  
logo.  
• “Memory Stick” media that is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright  
protection technology.  
Your CLIE handheld supports both types of “Memory Stick” media.  
To play back OpenMG audio files, however, make sure to use MagicGate  
Memory Stickmedia.  
To play back MP3 files, you can use a purple regular Memory Stickmedia.  
(You can also use MagicGate Memory Stickmedia. )  
What is MagicGate?  
“MagicGate” is a copyright protection technology for “MagicGate Memory Stick”  
media and compliant products, such as your CLIE handheld. Authentication ensures  
that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices and “MagicGate  
Memory Stick” media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an  
encoded format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback.  
Note on using MagicGate Memory Stickmedia  
®
If you use MS Gate or Windows Explorer to copy a protected file onto a “MagicGate  
Memory Stick” media or if you handle a folder containing a protected file, the file may  
be disabled. To handle the copyright-protected file, use a “MagicGate” compliant  
application such as OpenMG Jukebox.

To remove Memory Stickmedia  
Make sure that your CLIE handheld is not writing to or reading data from  
“Memory Stick” media.  
Push “Memory Stick” media gently into the slot and then release it so that  
“Memory Stick” media pops out. Then pull it out from your CLIE handheld.

Backing up data of your Sony CLIE Handheld  
You can save a backup copy of your CLIE handheld with either of the  
following two methods:  
®
• Backing up data using a HotSync operation  
®
• Backing up data using “Memory Stick ” media  
Backing up data in your computer using a HotSync operation  
By default, you can backup the following data in your computer using a  
HotSync operation:  
• Memo Pad data files  
• Address Book data files  
• To Do List data files  
• Date Book data files  
• Expense data files  
• Preferences data files  
• Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation  
• User information files when you perform a HotSync operation  
During the next HotSync operation, the backup data is compared with the  
data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective.  
If you perform a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIE  
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a backup of  
your CLIE handheld data, you can restore any data previously synchronized  
with your computer during the next HotSync operation.  
Notes  
• Some applications are not designed to be backed up. Therefore, you may not be able  
to restore some applications and data. We recommend you to re-install the  
application again.  
• If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be  
able to save a backup. You cannot back up or restore data for the application if you  
select another option than “Synchronize the files.” For details, see “Customizing  
HotSync application settings (Conduit)” on page 120.

your old CLIE handheld to your new CLIE handheld with either of the  
following methods:  
Using PalmDesktop for CLIE to copy data: You can transfer data of  
the Palm OS basic applications easily.  
®
Using Memory Stick media to copy data: You can transfer all the  
necessary data and settings information more securely than using the  
Palm Desktop for CLIE software.  
Note on add-on applications that you have installed  
Install add-on applications using the same procedures as the previous CLIE handheld.  
Some third-party applications may operate only on your old CLIE handheld.  
Using the Palm Desktop for CLIE software to transfer data  
®

handheld by performing HotSync operations with the identical user name. Doing so  
may cause trouble.  
• When you perform a HotSync operation with your new CLIE handheld and the  
New User dialog box is displayed, enter a different user name from that of your old  
CLIE handheld. If you enter the identical user name, the Palm Desktop for CLIE  
software may not be able to recognize the difference between your CLIE handhelds  
and the data of both handhelds may be mixed up or deleted.  
• If you copy UnsavedPreference, the user name is also copied. This prevents you

Precautions  
Notes on use  
• Take care not to scratch or damage your CLIE handheld’s screen or the  
®
Graffiti writing area. Always use the supplied stylus or a plastic-tipped  
pointer to tap on the screen. Do not use a real pen, pencil, or other sharp  
object on the screen.  
• Do not expose your CLIE handheld to rain or moisture. Should water  
enter the circuitry through the crevice around the front buttons, your  
CLIE handheld may be damaged.  
• Your CLIE handheld screen is made of glass. Do not drop or submit your  
CLIE handheld to external shock. Do not carry your CLIE handheld in  
your back pocket. If you sit down with your CLIE handheld in the back  
pocket, it may break.  
• Avoid using or storing your CLIE handheld in locations subject to:  
– extremely high temperature such as the hot inside of a car exposed  
to the sun, or near a heater.  
– direct sunlight  
– high humidity  
– excessive dust  
• The rubber feet of the cradle may lose their adhesion as they become  
dirty. If this occurs, wipe the feet with a moistened soft cloth to recover  
their adhesion.  
On cleaning  
Clean your CLIE handheld with a soft, dry cloth.

Precautions  
Battery considerations  
Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIE handheld.  
On charging  
• It takes about four hours to charge your CLIE handheld when the battery  
is empty.  
• When you charge your CLIE handheld every day, it takes only a few  
minutes to charge the battery.  
• You can view data or play audio files on your CLIE handheld while it is  
being charged.  
On the battery life  
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIE handheld for about  
fifteen days, 30 minutes each day, if you do not use the audio playback  
function.  
• If you set the HOLD switch to OFF and turn on the frontlight at the  
maximum level, you can play music continuously for about 3 hours.  
• If you set the HOLD switch to ON, you can play music continuously for  
about 11 hours.  
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where  
you use your CLIE handheld.  
Tips on conserving the battery  
• Turn off the frontlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the  
frontlight, see “Changing the frontlight level” on page 25.  
• Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIE handheld  
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,  
see “Setting the automatic shut-off time” on page 172.  
• If you play music using Audio Player, the battery may run out quickly.

Precautions  
When your battery runs out  
• When the battery runs out, a caution message appears on the screen. If  
®
this occurs, perform a HotSync operation to back up all your CLIE  
handheld’s data on your computer. Then charge your CLIE handheld  
using the cradle. This helps prevent accidental data loss.  
• If your CLIE handheld does not turn on when you press the POWER  
button, charge your CLIE handheld immediately.  
• The remaining battery indicator does not always reflect the actual battery  
amount. The battery is designed to provide years of service under normal  
use. To prolong the battery’s life, charge it frequently even when it is not  
fully discharged.  
• You do not have to replace batteries. When the remaining battery  
indicator reads zero, place your CLIE handheld on the cradle and start  
charging immediately. Never disassemble your CLIE handheld to take  
out the battery.  
When the remaining battery indicator reads 0.  
If your battery drains and you leave your CLIE handheld in an uncharged  
state for an extended period of time, all of the stored data will be erased.  
Sony suggests you charge your CLIE handheld frequently.

Some computers have the hub function built into their internal circuity.  
Contact your computer manufacturer if the USB connector of your computer  
is connected to an internal USB hub.  
Check the USB driver being used  
If you are using or have used a communication device that uses a virtual  
COM port, its driver may conflict with the driver for your CLIE handheld,  
preventing a HotSync operation. Remove the relevant driver or reinstall the  
driver for your CLIE handheld. Or reinstall all software on your computer.  
Check that the USB port of your computer is enabled  
If you are using Windows 95 pre-installed computer or another old type of  
computer equipped with a USB port, the USB port may be disabled by  
default. If another device such as a USB mouse cannot be used, check the  
BIOS setting of your computer.  
Also check the Device Manager. Right-click on My Computer and then select  
Properties. Click Device Manager tab and check that USB controller is listed  
in the Device Manager screen.
