There are three ways to enter data on your CLIÉ handheld:

❑ Using Graffiti ❑ Using the onscreen keyboard ❑ Using your computer keyboard.

Graffiti® writing

Your CLIÉ handheld includes Graffiti® writing software as the primary system for entering text and numbers. With Graffiti or numbers.

Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only a few minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti

CLIE Operating Instructions

There are five basic concepts for success with Graffiti

❑ If you draw the character shape exactly as shown below, you can achieve 100% accuracy.

❑ The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters have similar shapes,

writing:

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 recognizes 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.

How to write Graffiti® letters?

To write Graffiti® letters, proceed as follows:

1 Tap where you want your text to go.

You need to tap above the Graffiti the text.

2 Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to create. For

example, the stroke shown below creates the letter "n". There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters, choose the one that is easiest for you. As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter.

3 Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti

writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor before you write

4 Start your stroke at the heavy dot (1) and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables. 5 Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape (2).

That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

To display the Graffiti® onscreen help, proceed as follows:

★ To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right

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 82) for details.
