Performing a hard reset
Please be fully aware that following the procedure below will make you lose all the data you have saved on
your CLIÉ handheld!
If there is a problem that a soft reset cannot resolve, you need to perform a hard reset to restart your CLIÉ
handheld.
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored on your CLIÉ handheld are erased; only the current date
and time are retained. Formats, preferences, and other settings are restored to their factory default
CLIE Operating Instructions
settings.
Only perform a hard reset if a soft reset does not resolve your problem.
If you save a backup of your CLIÉ handheld data on your computer, you can restore any data previously
synchronized with your computer during the next HotSync
To perform a hard reset, proceed as follows:
1 Take the reset tip from the stylus (see Performing a soft reset (page 11)).

Entering data
Entering data
There are three ways to enter data on your CLIÉ handheld:
Using Graffiti® writing
Using the onscreen keyboard
Using your computer keyboard.

CLIE Operating Instructions
Graffiti® writing
Your CLIÉ handheld includes Graffiti® writing software as the primary system for entering text and numbers.
With Graffiti
®
writing, you write simple strokes with the stylus and they are instantly recognised as letters
or numbers.
®
The Graffiti
strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti®
writing easy to learn.
This section explains the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, as well as
teaching you some Graffiti
®
tips and tricks.
Writing Graffiti® letters
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

CLIE Operating Instructions
nN
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
CLIÉ handheld recognises 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.
Keyboards
Using the onscreen keyboard
14
You can open the onscreen keyboard any time you need to enter text or numbers into your CLIÉ handheld.
Note that you cannot enter Graffiti
To use the onscreen keyboard, proceed as follows:
1 Open any application in which you want to enter text (such as Memo Pad).
2 Tap any record, or tap New.
3 Tap <a> to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap <1> to open the numeric keyboard.
The selected keyboard is displayed. You can toggle between the international, alphabetic and numeric
keyboards, as shown in the next sections.
4 On the keyboard, simply tap the characters to enter text and numbers.
You can use the online keyboard in the same way as on the keyboard of your computer. For example, to
enter capital letter, tap <cap> and then tap the character button. To delete a character, tap <B>.

Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or simply prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use 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 do not need to learn different applications.
CLIE Operating Instructions
Refer to the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software online Help for more information on entering data on your
computer.
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets, and 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 (see Using HotSync® operations (page 74)).
