Notes on this manual
• Screen shots in this manual may be different from the actual displays in the supplied
software.
• The contents of this manual are written for users with a working knowledge of
Windows®. For details on computer operations, refer to your computer manual.
LCD display and camera lens
The LCD of your CLIÉ handheld is designed with precision technology. However, in
some cases, individual pixels may remain lit or may not light at all. Also, the brightness
of the display may appear inconsistent, depending on the angle of view. Such anomalies
are caused by the nature of the LCD and do not indicate a malfunction.
Please note that Sony does not guarantee a replacement or refund for such cases.
Do not expose the LCD or camera lens to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. It
may result in a malfunction. Do not store your CLIÉ handheld in areas subject to sunlight,
such as near windows, and be careful when using outdoors.
The built-in camera
Bright or dark pixels may appear on pictures taken with the built-in camera.
This phenomenon is not a malfunction and occurs due to the nature of the image sensor
of the built-in camera.
Before taking pictures (CLIE Camera), or
recording sounds (Voice Recorder)
Sony recommends taking a test picture to confirm settings and light conditions before
actual shooting.
Take a test shot, save it, and view it to check the result. Likewise, perform tests before
actual sound clip recording (Voice Recorder).
No guarantee for lost or damaged data
Sony does not provide any guarantee for lost or damaged data.
Copyrights
Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials may violate copyright laws.

Making a backup of the data or applications on
your CLIÉ handheld
Sony recommends that you make a backup of your data in case of unexpected
problems. Backing up your data will ensure that it can be restored again on your
CLIÉ handheld, even if you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using Memory Stick Backup
Use “Memory Stick” media and Memory Stick Backup on your CLIÉ
handheld to back up data and applications on your CLIÉ handheld.
b“Memory Stick” media (sold separately) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your CLIÉ™ handheld data and applications:
Backing up data and applications to “Memory Stick” media using Memory Stick
Backup” in the “Handbook” (PDF format).
Making a backup using the HotSync® operation
Data or applications on your CLIÉ handheld is backed up to your computer
when the HotSync® operation is performed. If you need to perform a hard reset,
this would erase all user data and applications stored on your CLIÉ handheld.
However, the erased data and applications can be restored with the next
HotSync® operation.
Notes
• Some add-on applications (not installed at the factory), and some application
data and settings may not be backed up using the HotSync® operation. However,
a backup of data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with Memory Stick
Backup.
To make proper backups, using Memory Stick Backup periodically is
recommended.
• When you need to restore data, and so on, make sure that you perform the
HotSync® operation immediately after you perform a hard reset. Otherwise, if
you create new data on your CLIÉ handheld between the hard reset and
performing the HotSync® operation, the data may be lost.

Troubleshooting
Do not use a USB hub
If you connect your CLIÉ handheld to your computer via a USB hub, you may not be able
to perform the HotSync® operation properly. Make sure you connect the USB cable
directly to a USB port of your computer.
Some computers have the hub function built into their internal circuitry. Contact your
computer manufacturer to check whether the USB port of your computer is connected to
an internal USB hub.
Check that the USB port of your computer is enabled
Test the USB port with another device, such as a USB mouse. If that device does not
work, check the BIOS setting of your computer.
In addition, check the setting in the Device Manager: Right-click [My Computer] and
select [Properties] from the menu. (If you are using Windows 2000 Professional/
Windows XP, click [Hardware].) Click [Device Manager] and check that [USB
controller] is displayed in the Device Manager window.
If USB controller is not displayed

Troubleshooting
Using peripheral devices
If a low battery warning is displayed while using peripheral devices, charge
your CLIÉ handheld immediately. If you continuously use it, it automatically
turns off and cannot operate until you charge it.
When the battery power gets low
• When the battery power gets low, a warning message is displayed on the
screen, “Memory Stick” media becomes inaccessible, and the backlight
adjustment no longer operates. If this occurs, connect your CLIÉ handheld
to wall outlet and perform the HotSync® operation.
• If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you slide down the POWER/
HOLD switch, charge your CLIÉ handheld immediately.
• The remaining battery indicator may not always reflect the actual battery
power. To prevent loss of battery power, charge your CLIÉ handheld
frequently.
• You do not have to replace batteries. When battery power gets low, charge
your CLIÉ handheld immediately. Never disassemble your CLIÉ handheld
to take out the battery.
Other information
Your CLIÉ handheld may get warm if turned on for long periods of time. This
is not a malfunction.
About replacing the battery
CAUTION
Please contact with your nearest Sony dealer in connection with this product
with problem.
Do not let the remaining battery power indicator reach 0
If you leave your CLIÉ handheld in an uncharged state (the remaining
battery power indicator reaches 0 ), all user data stored on your CLIÉ
handheld will be erased. To avoid this, you should charge your CLIÉ
handheld frequently.
