Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you
can use the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ 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 CLIÉ handheld.
All the main applications on your CLIÉ handheld are also available in the
Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software and in most PIMs, so you dont need to
learn different applications.
Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ 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 CLIÉ
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
CLIÉ software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your CLIÉ
handheld.  For details, see “Chapter 3:  Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync
® operation.”

Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Under normal circumstances, you do not have to reset your CLIÉ handheld.
On rare occasions, however, your CLIÉ 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 CLIÉ handheld running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your CLIÉ handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are retained in
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 CLIÉ handheld.
The system shuts down and then restarts.
After restarting, the system displays “palm powered,” “CLIÉ,” and
“SONY,”  followed by the preferences screen for setting the time and
date.
