    Using your computer keyboard
    If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard,
    you can use Palm™ Desktop for CLIE software or any other supported
    personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook
    ®, to enter
    information. You can then perform a HotSync® operation to synchronize the
    information on your computer with the information on your CLIE handheld.
    All the main applications on your CLIE handheld are also available in Palm
    Desktop for CLIE software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn
    different applications.
    Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIE software online Help for more
    information on entering data on your computer.
    To import data from your computer or another handheld
    If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets, databases, or if
    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.”

    Resetting your Sony CLIE Handheld
    Under normal circumstances, you will not have to reset your CLIE
    handheld.
    On rare occasions, however, your CLIE handheld may no longer respond to
    buttons or the screen due to insufficient memory or other reasons.  In this
    case, you need to perform a reset to get your CLIE handheld running again.
    Performing a soft reset
    A soft reset tells your CLIE handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over
    again. All records and entries stored in your CLIE handheld are retained
    with a soft reset. 
    1Take out the reset tip by unscrewing the metal barrel from
    the stylus quill.
    2Use the reset tip to gently press the reset button inside the
    hole on the back panel of your CLIE handheld.
    The system shuts down and then restarts.
    After restarting, the system displays “Palm Computing Platform,”
    “CLIE,” and “Sony,”  followed by the preferences screen for setting the
    time and date. 
    						
    							Chapter1Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld27
    Performing a hard reset
    If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset
    to restart your CLIE handheld.
    Note
    With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIE handheld are erased.
    Only perform a hard reset if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
    If you save a backup of your CLIE handheld data on your computer, you can restore
    any data previously synchronized with your computer during the next HotSync®
    operation.
    1Hold down the POWER button on your CLIE handheld.
    2While holding down the POWER button, use the reset tip to
    gently press and release the reset button.
    The Palm Computing Platform window is displayed
    3Release the POWER button.
    A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on
    your CLIE handheld is displayed.
    4Press the upper half of the scroll button on the front panel of
    your CLIE handheld.
    Your CLIE handheld undergoes a hard reset.
    After a hard reset, only the current data and time are retained. Formats,
    Preferences, and other settings are restored to their factory default
    settings.
    Note
    If the scroll button was used just prior to hard-resetting, the hard-reset may not be
    performed.
