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 don’t 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. 
						

							Chapter 1Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld26
Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Performing a hard reset
If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset
to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Note
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are
erased. Perform a hard reset only if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
You can restore your CLIÉ handheld data if you save a back-up on your
computer or Memory Stick media. For details on how to save a back-up, see
“Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ handheld” on page 184.
1Hold down the POWER button on your CLIÉ handheld.
2While holding down the POWER button, use the reset tip to
gently press and release the reset button.
The Palm Powered logo screen is displayed.

A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
CLIÉ handheld is displayed.
4Press the scroll button on the front panel of your CLIÉ
handheld upwards.
Your CLIÉ handheld undergoes a hard reset.
After a hard reset, only the current date 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.
