Card Backup Tool
Card Backup Tool lets you quickly and easily back up your Palm-size PC memory data
to a memory card. Backed up data lets you easily restore your system should it start to
malfunction due to some data error.
Backed Up Data
Card Backup Tool backs up the following three types of data in Palm-size PC memory.
¥Files
Files are created using Voice Recorder, Note Taker, and other applications and add-
on programs. Files transferred from your desktop computer to the Palm-size PC are
also backed up.
¥The Registry
The registry contains setup data for Windows CE and built-in applications.
¥Database Data
Database data is Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox data.
Time Required for Backup
Depending on the volume of data you are backing up (or restoring), the backup
operation can take anywhere from about 10 seconds to a number of minutes. To back
up 4MB of data, for example takes three or four minutes. To check how much data is
on your system, tap Start, Settings, and then System. On the dialog that appears, tap
the Memory tab. The value under Storage memory indicates how much data is stored
in memory. See Palm-size PC online help for more information.
Important!
The restore operation can take a very long time if you do not have enough storage
memory allocated. When this happens, quit the restore operation, increase the size of
the storage memory, and then try the restore operation again.

Appendix A
Handwritten Character Recognizer
The CIC Jot character recognition software built into your Palm-size PC provides a quick
and easy-to-use method for entering text in any program. Simply write each character on
the input panel, and it is translated into typed text and displayed on the screen.
This appendix explains how to use the Jot Character Recognizer. It also provides tables
showing how and where to write characters for each of the two character sets: the
Natural Character Set and the Simplified Uppercase Character Set.
To activate the character recognizer
Tap the Input Method arrow on the Taskbar, and then tap Jot Character Recognizer
to select it as your input method.
Select the input method here.
Tap here to view available input methods.
Use the stylus to write a character on the input panel. The character recognizer translates
the character into typed text and displays it at the insertion point on the screen.
Write characters here. 
						

							Palm-size PC UserÕs Guide110
Input Panel Areas
How the character recognizer interprets a character you draw depends on where you
write it in the input panel. Write an uppercase or lowercase character in the uppercase
area (ABC), for example, and it will be translated to an uppercase letter.
Write here for lowercase.
Write here for uppercase.
You can also write punctuation and editing marks, and add or delete spaces in either of
the letter areas (abc or ABC) of the input area. To add a space, for example, draw a
horizontal line from left to right. To backspace, draw a line from right to left. See the
tables starting from page 112 for more information.
Use the number area (123) of the input panel to input numbers.
Write numbers here.
Drag the pointer left or right to change 
the sizes of the writing areas.
You can also write common punctuation marks in the number area. This means you
can input telephone numbers, birthdays, and other data that mixes numbers and
punctuation all in the number area. See the tables starting from page 112 for more
information. 
						

							Part 4 Reference111
Symbols
Use the symbol input area to input symbols like @ or #. You can display the symbol
panel by tapping the Symb button on the input panel, or by drawing a vertical line
from bottom to top anywhere on the panel.
After you draw the symbol, the character recognizer automatically changes back to the
main input panel (for letter and numbers) after a few moments. Or you can tap the
Symb button again to return to the main input panel.
Tap here for the 
symbol panel.
See the tables starting from page 112 for more information.
Character Writing Help
The character recognizer software recognizes a number of alternate ways of writing a
character. If you are having a problem with a particular character, you can use Help to
see an animated demonstration of how to write it.
To display character writing help
1. Tap the Help button on the input panel.
2. Tap Next.
3. Select the character you want to see, and then tap Show.
Tap here to see the letter 
drawn on the input panel. 
						

							Palm-size PC UserÕs Guide112
Options
A number of options are available that you can use to set up the character recognizer to
suit your needs.

2. Select Jot Character Recognizer as the input method, and then tap Options.

faster. See ÒSimplified Uppercase Character SetÓ on page 117 for more information.
Or you can select this character set in the Options dialog and then tap the Help button
in the input panel.
Natural Character Set
The tables in this section show how to write Natural Character Set letters, numbers,
punctuation marks, editing marks, and symbols. Alternative writing methods are shown
for each character. A dot indicates where a stroke begins, and a stroke that does not
have a dot can be written in either direction. Stroke sequence is numbered where
appropriate.
