Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld 13
Entering data into your Sony CLIE Handheld
Using Graffiti® writing to enter data
This section explains the procedures for creating letters, numbers,
punctuation, and symbols, as well as teaching 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 tables later in this
chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram), 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 CLIE 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
Division marks
Write letters here
Write numbers here
Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld 14
Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld
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
CLIE 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.

you can use Palm Desktop for CLIE 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 CLIE handheld.
All the main applications on your CLIE handheld are also available in Palm
Desktop for CLIE software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn
different applications.
Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIE 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 CLIE
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
CLIE software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your CLIE
handheld. For details, see “Chapter 3: Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync® operation.”

Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld 26
Resetting your Sony CLIE Handheld
Under normal circumstances, you do not have to reset your CLIE handheld.
On rare occasions, however, your CLIE 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 CLIE handheld running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your CLIE handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over
again. All records and entries stored in your CLIE 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 CLIE handheld.
The system shuts down and then restarts.
After restarting, the system displays “palm powered,” “CLIE,” and
“Sony,” followed by the preferences screen for setting the time and date.
Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld 27
Resetting your Sony CLIE Handheld
Performing a hard reset
If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset
to restart your CLIE handheld.
Note
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIE handheld are
erased. Only perform a hard reset if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
If you save a backup of your CLIE handheld data on your computer, you can
restore any data previously synchronized with your computer during the
next HotSync® operation.
1Hold down the POWER button on your CLIE 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.
3Release the POWER button.
A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
CLIE handheld is displayed.
4Press the upper half of the scroll button on the front panel of
your CLIE handheld.
Your CLIE 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.

Tap OK.
The Date Book screen is displayed again.
Make sure that the repeat icon is displayed to the far right of the
event.
Notes
If you change the start date of a repeating event, your CLIE handheld
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your CLIE handheld
then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the
repeating event.
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating
event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting)
are not changed, and your CLIE handheld creates a new repeating event.
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from
January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new
date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your CLIE handheld
adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a
repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your CLIE
handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day
on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the
change) are not changed.
If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g.,
time), that occurrence no longer shows the repeat icon.

Protecting your data (Security)
Your CLIE handheld includes a Security application that allows you to
protect your data from unauthorized users.
In Security, you can do the following:
Lock and turn off your CLIE handheld so that it does not operate until you
enter the correct password.
Set the CLIE handheld to automatically lock at/after a preset time, or
whenever you turn it off.
Mask all records that you mark as private so the information appears
greyed out.
Hide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear on any
screen.
You can mask or hide private records with or without a password. Without
a password, private records are hidden or masked until you set the Security
application to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to
view the private records.

CLIE handheld.
