Using the Jog Dial™ navigator
Your CLIÉ handheld is equipped with a Jog Dial™
navigator, which allows you to perform all major
operations without the stylus. You can operate your
CLIÉ handheld using the Jog Dial navigator with just
one hand.
The icon of any application that supports Jog Dial
navigator operations is marked with the 
 Jog Dial
navigator mark*.
For applications not supporting the Jog Dial navigator operations, you can use
the JogAssist function to enable Jog Dial navigator operations. For details, see
“Changing the Jog Dial
™ navigator preferences” on page 159.
*The World Alarm Clock icon and PhotoStand icon and CLIÉ Paint icon do
not have the 
 mark, but supports the Jog Dial navigator operations.
Rotating the Jog Dial navigator
Rotate the Jog Dial navigator to select various items
in succession or to select an application to start.
The operations you can perform by rotating the Jog
Dial navigator differ depending on the application
you are using. For details, refer to the instructions for
each application.
Pressing the Jog Dial navigator
Press the Jog Dial navigator to highlight the item
selected by rotating the Jog Dial navigator, or to run
the selected application.
The operations you can perform by pressing the Jog
Dial navigator differ depending on the application
you are using. For details, refer to the instructions for
each application.
Rotating while holding down the Jog Dial navigator
Some applications support operations executed by rotating and pressing the
Jog Dial navigator. For details, refer to the instructions for each application.

Using Graffiti® writing to enter data
This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers,
punctuation, and symbols, and teaches 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 Writing Graffiti
alphabet table in this chapter, and as shown below, you can achieve 100%
accuracy.
•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 CLIÉ 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.
Graffiti writing examples:
A, B, C, D, and E

Writing Graffiti letters
1Tap where you want your text to go.
Note
You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor
before you write the text.
2Use 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.”
Note
There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters,
choose the one that’s easiest for you.
As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper
case and lower case version of a letter.
3Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing
area.
4Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape
as it appears in the tables.
5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your
CLIÉ 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.

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 CLIÉ handheld does not
recognize them as text characters.
Tips
•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.

Use the Caps Shift stroke 
 .
To return to the lower case, use the Backspace stroke 
 .
Note
When you create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line),
the first letter is automatically capitalized.

Writing accented characters and non-English characters
To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create the
letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the accent to
the letter.
To enter “é,” for example, draw 
 and then .
à è ì ò ùá é í ó ú  ´y
â ê î ô ûã õ ñ
ä ï ö ü ÿå
To write non-English characters
You can write the following characters without any special punctuation or
shifting:
çæ
Note
You must write these non-English characters on the left side of the Graffiti writing area.

Using Graffiti ShortCuts
Graffiti ShortCuts, similar to the glossary or autotext features of some word
processors, allow you to enter commonly used words or phrases quickly and
easily. In addition to the following predefined ShortCuts, you can create
your own ShortCuts for your name or the header of a memo (page 170).
Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters.
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke 
 followed by the ShortCut
characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol
appears at the insertion point to show that you are in ShortCut mode.
When you enter 
 and dts (,  , and ), you can enter date and time
stamps.
