Installing add-on applications on your Sony
CLIÉ Handheld or Memory Stick media
Your CLIÉ handheld comes with various applications, such as Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator, and the e-mail application.
In addition to these applications, you can install additional applications called “add-on applications” from the Installation
CD-ROM on your CLIÉ handheld. You can also install add-on applications on Memory Stick media (sold separately) if you want to save your CLIÉ handheld’s memory space. A variety of third-party applications are also available for your CLIÉ handheld, such as games and other software that run on the Palm OS latest third-party applications, see the Sony official CLIÉ Web site (http://www.sony.com/clie/).
Notes
• Add-on applications reside in the RAM memory of your CLIÉ handheld. Performing a hard reset deletes all the add-on applications. However, if, before performing a hard reset, you back up the data in your CLIÉ handheld by performing a HotSync® operation or by using the MS Backup application, you can restore the add-on applications afterwards.
• The add-on applications available on the CLIÉ Installation CD-ROM are copied on your computer’s hard disk when you install the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software. To install these applications from the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software on your CLIÉ handheld, follow the procedures described in the next section.

Chapter 3
Setting up your Sony CLI
If you installed applications to the Memory Stick media through Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software
With some applications, your CLIÉ handheld may not be able to display data if you installed the application in the Memory Stick media.
This is because the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software installs application data in the /PALM/Launcher directory when Memory Stick is selected. As a result, some application data cannot be started through normal process.
If the application you installed in the Memory Stick media fail to start, copy the data again, this time to your CLIÉ handheld. For details, see Copying data in Memory Stick media to your CLIÉ handheld in the Operating Instructions manual.

Installing add-on applications by beaming them from another Palm OS® device

Your CLIÉ handheld is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to beam an application to another Palm OS close by and that also has an IR port. You can beam applications that are either installed in your CLIÉ handheld or stored in inserted Memory Stick media. The IR port is located at the top of your CLIÉ handheld, behind the small dark shield.

Setting up your Sony CLI
Tip
For best results, the handhelds should be 4 to 8 inches (approximately 10 to 20 centimeters) apart, and the path between the two handhelds must be clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to other Palm OS PDA devices may be different.
Wait for the Beam dialog box to indicate that the
