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.
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 Stick” media
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.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick” media.  Note however, that
your CLIE handheld does not support the “MagicGate Memory Stick”
technology. You can use “MagicGate Memory Stick” media with your
CLIE Handheld as a standard “Memory Stick” media.
Note on “MagicGate Memory Stick” media
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 copyright-protected files, use a “MagicGate” compliant device
such as Memory Stick Walkman
®, or a Sony VAIO computer with “MagicGate”
compliant application such as OpenMG Jukebox.
