Battery safety

To prevent a battery from leaking, heating up, catching fire, bursting, etc., be
sure to follow the cautions below:

• Do not charge the battery in any other way than specified in this

manual.

• Do not throw the battery into fire, short-circuit it, take it apart, or heat

it in an oven such as a microwave.

• Do not charge the battery near fire or in direct, bright sunlight, or do

not leave it in a car.

• Do not subject your CLIÉ handheld to excessive shock.

Take care not to drop your CLIÉ handheld, give pressure to it with a sharp
object, or place any heavy objects on it to prevent a malfunction.

• If you touch an electric leakage or have it in your eyes, bathe with

clean water immediately, and consult your doctor.

Additional information

Using peripheral devices

If the caution message that warns of low remaining battery power is displayed
while you use peripheral devices with your CLIÉ handheld, quit operating
them immediately and charge your CLIÉ handheld. If you continue operating,
data on your CLIÉ handheld’s memory may be lost.

When remaining battery power gets low

• When remaining battery power gets low, the caution message will be
displayed on the screen, and operations for “Memory Stick” media or
backlight adjustment become unavailable.
If this occurs, perform the HotSync
data on your CLIÉ handheld to your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ
handheld using the USB cable to prevent accidental data loss.

• If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you press the POWER button,
charge your CLIÉ handheld immediately.

• The Battery Remain icon does not always reflect the actual remaining battery
power. To prevent the battery from running out accidentally, charge it
frequently even when it is not fully discharged.

zero, connect your CLIÉ handheld to the AC power adapter and start
charging immediately. Never disassemble your CLIÉ handheld to take out
the battery.

Do not leave the Battery Remain icon reading at zero
