    Precautions
    Notes on use
    •Take care not to scratch or damage your CLIÉ handheld’s screen or the
    Graffiti® writing area. Always use the supplied stylus or a plastic-tipped
    pointer to tap on the screen. Do not use a real pen, pencil, or other sharp
    object on the screen.
    •Do not expose your CLIÉ handheld to rain or moisture. Should water
    enter the circuitry through the crevice around the front buttons, your
    CLIÉ handheld may be damaged.
    •Your CLIÉ handheld screen is made of glass. Do not drop or submit your
    CLIÉ handheld to external shock. Do not carry your CLIÉ handheld in
    your back pocket. If you sit down with your CLIÉ handheld in the back
    pocket, it may break.
    •Avoid using or storing your CLIÉ handheld in locations subject to:
    –extremely high temperature such as the hot inside of a car exposed
    to the sun, or near a heater.
    –direct sunlight
    –high humidity
    –excessive dust
    •The rubber feet of the cradle may lose their adhesion as they become
    dirty. If this occurs, wipe the feet with a moistened soft cloth to recover
    their adhesion.
    On cleaning
    Clean your CLIÉ handheld with a soft, dry cloth.

    Battery considerations
    Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIÉ handheld.
    On charging
    •It takes about four hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the battery
    is empty.
    •When you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few
    minutes to charge the battery.
    •You can view data or play audio files with your CLIÉ handheld while it is
    being charged.
    On the battery life
    •With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for about
    fifteen days, 30 minutes each day if you do not use the audio playback
    function.
    •If you set the HOLD switch to OFF and turn on the frontlight at the
    maximum level, you can play music continuously for about 3 hours.
    •If you set the HOLD switch to ON, you can play music continuously for
    about 11 hours.
    •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, all data stored
    on the DRAM (memory) is lost.  Performing another HotSync operation
    once the battery is recharged can restore information saved from the last
    HotSync operation.  For details, see “Backing up data to your computer
    through HotSync operation” on page 194.
    Tips on conserving the battery
    •Turn off the frontlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the
    frontlight, see “Changing the frontlight level” on page 23.
    •Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld
    will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,
    see “Setting the automatic shut-off time” on page 176.
    •If you play with the Audio Player, the battery may run out quickly.
    Precautions

    Precautions
    When your battery runs out
    •When the battery runs out, a caution message appears on the screen. If
    this occurs, perform a HotSync® operation to back up all your CLIÉ
    handheld’s data on your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ handheld
    using the cradle. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
    •If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you press the POWER
    button, charge your CLIÉ handheld 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 prolong the battery’s life, charge it frequently even when it is not
    fully discharged.
    •You do not have to replace batteries. When the remaining battery
    indicator reads zero, place your CLIÉ handheld on the cradle and start
    charging immediately. Never disassemble your CLIÉ handheld to take
    out the battery.
    When the remaining battery indicator reads 0.
    If your battery drains and you leave your CLIÉ handheld in an uncharged
    state for an extended period of time, all of the stored data will be erased.
    Sony suggests you charge your CLIÉ handheld frequently.

    Tapping and writing problems
    When I tap the buttons or screen icons, my CLIÉ handheld
    activates the wrong feature.
    ,Calibrate the screen. See “What you can do with Preferences”
    (page 165).
    When I tap the Menu icon, nothing happens.
    ,Not all applications or screens have menus. Try changing to a
    different application.
    I cannot get my CLIÉ handheld to recognize my handwriting.
    ,For your CLIÉ handheld to recognize handwriting input with the
    stylus, you need to use Graffiti
    ® writing. See “Using Graffiti® writing
    to enter data” (page 11).
    ,Make the Graffiti character strokes in the Graffiti writing area, not on
    the display part of the screen.
    ,Write Graffiti strokes for letters on the left-hand side, and the strokes
    for numbers on the right-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.

    modes. See “Using Graffiti
    ® writing to enter data” (page 11).
    ,For tips on successful Graffiti writing, see “Using Graffiti
    ® writing to

    Application problems
    I tapped the Today button, but it does not show the correct
    date.
    ,Your CLIÉ handheld is not set to the current date. Make sure the Set
    Date box in the Date & Time Preferences screen displays the current
    date. See “Setting the Date & Time preferences” (page 173).
    ,Your CLIÉ handheld is not set to the correct time zone or the correct
    daylight saving setting. Make sure the Set Time Zone box and the
    Daylight Saving box in the Date & Time Preferences screen displays
    the correct setting. See “Setting the Date & Time preferences” (page
    173).
    I know I entered some records, but they do not appear in the
    application.
    ,Check the Categories drop-down list (upper-right corner). Choose
    All to display all of the records for the application.
    ,Check Security and confirm that Current Privacy is set to Show
    Records.
    ,
    In To Do List, tap Show and see if “Show Only Due Items” is selected.
    I am having problems listing memos the way I want to see them.
    ,If you cannot manually arrange the order of the memos in the list
    screen, check the Memo Preferences setting. Make sure that Sort by is
    set to Manual.
    ,If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on the Palm™
    Desktop for CLIÉ software and then perform a HotSync
    ® operation,
    the memos on your CLIÉ handheld still appear in the order defined
    in the Memo Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings you
    use with the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software are not transferred to
    your CLIÉ handheld.
