THE EXHAUSTED ONES. IF THE BATTERY IN YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD IS
FULLY DISCHARGED OR REMOVED, ALL DATA STORED ON THE
SDRAM (MEMORY) IS LOST. IN SUCH A CASE, PERFORMING A
HOTSYNC
® OPERATION ONCE THE BATTERIES ARE REPLACED CAN
RESTORE BACKED UP INFORMATION SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER
(FROM THE LAST HOTSYNC OPERATION) TO YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD.
FOR DETAILS, SEE “BACKING UP DATA TO YOUR COMPUTER
THROUGH A HOTSYNC
® OPERATION” ON PAGE 184.
•Be sure to turn your CLIÉ handheld off, before removing/inserting
batteries.

							196Chapter 6Additional information
Charging the internal power source
To avoid losing data stored on your CLIÉ handheld, do not remove new
batteries during the first 1 hour after inserting them.
Your CLIÉ handheld has a small internal power source to maintain your
data while you switch batteries. This internal power source is charged from
the batteries when you first insert batteries into your CLIÉ handheld or
when you insert new batteries after a long period of not using your CLIÉ
handheld. Charging the internal power source takes about 1 hour. If you
remove the batteries before the internal power source is charged, your CLIÉ
handhelds memory will revert to the factory settings and any data you have
entered will be lost.
If batteries are leaking
•Carefully wipe off any liquid in the battery compartment before inserting
new batteries.
•If battery leakage comes in contact with your skin, wash it off
immediately.
•If battery leakage comes in contact with your eyes, immediately rinse
your eyes thoroughly with water and promptly seek medical attention.
Battery life
• With new alkaline batteries, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for
approximately 20 days*.
*Based on an average of 30 minutes use of PIMs per day, with the backlight off.
•Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where
you use your CLIÉ handheld.
•IF THE BATTERY IN YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD IS FULLY DISCHARGED OR
REMOVED, ALL DATA STORED ON THE SDRAM (MEMORY) IS LOST. IN
SUCH A CASE, PERFORMING A HOTSYNC
® OPERATION ONCE THE
BATTERIES ARE REPLACED CAN RESTORE BACKED UP INFORMATION
SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER (FROM THE LAST HOTSYNC
OPERATION) TO YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD. FOR DETAILS, SEE “BACKING
UP DATA TO YOUR COMPUTER THROUGH A HOTSYNC
® OPERATION”

button, replace the batteries with new ones immediately.
•The remaining battery indicator does not always reflect the actual battery
amount. The battery is designed to provide years of service under normal
use. To prevent accidental data loss, replace the batteries with new ones
immediately
