Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This section describes how to solve common problems you may encounter when using 
your CLIÉ handheld.
Preventing problems
Making a backup is recommended
We recommend that you make a backup of your data in case of any unexpected 
trouble. Backing up your data will ensure that it will be saved on the CLIÉ 
handheld even when you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using the Memory Stick Backup 
application
You can make a backup on the “Memory Stick” media using the supplied 
Memory Stick Backup application. This is the most convenient way to make a 
backup.
b“Memory Stick” media (optional) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your Sony CLIÉ handheld data” in the “Handbook.”
Making a backup using the HotSync® operation
The data of your CLIÉ handheld is backed up on your computer every time you 
perform a HotSync® operation. You can lose the data in your CLIÉ handheld 
when you perform a hard reset. But, if you make a backup with the HotSync® 
operation, you can restore any data previously synchronized with your 
computer during the next HotSync® operation. 
However, you cannot make a backup for the following applications or data 
using the HotSync® operation.
• Applications or data installed from “Memory Stick” media or beamed.
• Some applications and driver files added later, or some data in applications.
Continued on next page
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

102
For details on applications that cannot be backed up, refer to manuals for each 
application. 
If you want to make a complete backup, use the Memory Stick Backup application.
For details on HotSync, refer to “Exchanging and updating data using a HotSync® 
operation” in the “Handbook.”
Solving problems
Should you encounter problems, please follow the procedure below.
Sony recommends that you make a note of displayed messages or alerts to find 
the key to solve the problem.
Note
Thousands of third-party add-on applications are available for the Palm OS® platform. 
Sony does not support third-party applications. If you have a problem with a third-party 
application, contact the developer or publisher of that software.
Step 1 Refer to “Troubleshooting Q&A” or 
manuals for each application.
• Read “Troubleshooting Q&A” carefully.
• Double-click the CLIÉ Info icon, select Manuals and read the details 
about the applications.

information
Notes on use
About handling
• Make sure you do not 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 buttons and switches, your CLIÉ handheld may be 
damaged.
• Your CLIÉ handheld screen is made of glass. Do not drop or expose 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, 
the CLIÉ handheld may break.
• Avoid using or storing your CLIÉ handheld in locations subject to:
– extremely high temperature, such as inside a car left exposed to the sun, or 
near a heater.
– direct sunlight
– high humidity
– excessive dust
• The rubber feet of the cradle may lose their adhesion if they become dirty. If 
this occurs, wipe the rubber feet with a soft damp cloth to restore their 
adhesion.
About cleaning
• Clean your CLIÉ handheld with a soft, dry cloth.
• Remove the dirt and dust from the camera lens by wiping with a soft damp 
cotton swab.
If condensation occurs
Turn off your CLIÉ handheld for approximately one hour to clear condensation 
before use. If you leave condensation within the camera lens, you may not be 
able to take clear images.

105
Additional information
Battery considerations
Charging
• It takes approximately 4 hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the 
battery is empty.
• If you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few minutes to 
charge the battery.
• You can operate your CLIÉ handheld while it is being charged.
Battery life
Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you use 
your CLIÉ handheld, or applications used.
bFor details, refer to “Specifications” on page 107.
Conserving the battery
• Turn off the backlight under good lighting conditions. 
bFor details, refer to “POWER Switch” on page 31.
• Change the automatic power-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld 
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity.
bFor details, refer to “Customizing your Sony CLIÉ handheld (Preferences): Setting 
the automatic power-off time” in the “Handbook.”
Using peripheral devices
If the caution message that warns of low battery-remaining is displayed while 
you use peripheral devices with your CLIÉ handheld, stop using them 
immediately and charge your CLIÉ handheld. If you continue operating, data 
in your CLIÉ handheld’s memory may be lost.
106
When battery charge gets low
• When battery charge gets low, a caution message appears on the screen, and 
operations for “Memory Stick” media or backlight adjustment become 
unavailable. 
If this occurs, perform a HotSync® operation to make a backup all the data 
of your CLIÉ handheld to your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ handheld 
using the cradle to prevent accidental data loss.
• If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you slide the POWER switch, 
charge your CLIÉ handheld immediately.
• The remaining battery indicator does not always reflect the actual battery 
power remaining. To prevent the battery running out accidentally, charge it 
frequently even when it is not fully discharged.
• When the remaining battery indicator reads zero, immediately charge the 
battery with the USB cradle or replace with a charged battery.
Do not let the remaining battery indicator read 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 
recommends that you charge your CLIÉ handheld frequently.
Others
Your CLIÉ handheld may get warm if turned on for a long period. This is not 
malfunction.
