Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Using Graffiti® writing to enter data

This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, and teaches you some Graffiti
®
tips and tricks.
What is Graffiti writing?
Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing:
If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the Writing Graffiti alphabet table in this chapter, and as shown below, you can achieve 100% accuracy.
Graffiti writing examples: A, B, C, D, and E
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 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.
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 writing area separate the two areas.

Writing Graffiti letters
Tap where you want your text to go.
1
Note
You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor before you write the text.
Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke
2
shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter "n".
Note
There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters, choose the one that's easiest for you.
Lift stylus here
Start stroke at heavy dot
As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter.

5
Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
Position the stylus
Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.
Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
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.
12
Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.
Tips
Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
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 to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti
writing area.
Press firmly.
To display the Graffiti onscreen help
Drag the stylus from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen. Graffiti Help opens a series of screens that show the complete Graffiti character set.

To write capital letters
Shift to caps and then you can make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic alphabet characters.
To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter Use the Caps Shift stroke
To return to the lower case, use the Backspace stroke
Note
When you create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line), the first letter is automatically capitalized.

Writing accented characters and non-English characters
To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the accent to the letter.
To enter “é,” for example, draw
à è ì ò ù á é í ó ú ´y
â ê î ô û ã õ ñ
ä ï ö ü ÿ å
To write non-English characters
You can write the following characters without any special punctuation or shifting:
ç æ
and then .
Note
You must write these non-English characters on the left side of the Graffiti writing area.

Graffiti ShortCuts, similar to the glossary or autotext features of some word processors, allow you to enter commonly used words or phrases quickly and easily. In addition to the following predefined ShortCuts, you can create your own ShortCuts for your name or the header of a memo (page 171). Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters.
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point to show that you are in ShortCut mode.

Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Using your computer keyboard

If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use the Palm personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook information. You can then perform a HotSync
Desktop for CLIÉ software or any other supported
®
operation to synchronize the
®
, to enter
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 don't need to learn different applications.
Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software online Help for more information on entering data on your computer.
To import data from your computer or another handheld
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets, 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. For details, see Chapter 3: Exchanging and updating data using a HotSync® operation.

Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Under normal circumstances, you do not have to reset your CLIÉ handheld. On rare occasions, however, your CLIÉ handheld may no longer respond to
buttons or the screen due to insufficient memory or other reasons. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your CLIÉ handheld running again.

Performing a soft reset

A soft reset tells your CLIÉ handheld to stop what its doing and start over again. All records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are retained in a soft reset.
Take out the reset tip by unscrewing the metal barrel from
1
the stylus quill.
Use the reset tip to gently press the reset button inside the
2
hole on the back panel of your CLIÉ handheld.
The system shuts down and then restarts. After restarting, the system displays palm powered,” “CLIÉ,” and
SONY, followed by the preferences screen for setting the time and date.
Chapter1 Basic operations of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
24
Resetting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld

Performing a hard reset

If the soft reset does not solve the problem, you need to perform a hard reset to restart your CLIÉ handheld.
Note
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ handheld are erased. Perform a hard reset only if a soft reset does not solve your problem.
You can restore your CLIÉ handheld data if you save a back-up on your computer or Memory Stick media. For details on how to save a back-up, see Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ handheld on page 185.
Hold down the POWER button on your CLIÉ handheld.
1
While holding down the POWER button, use the reset tip to
2
gently press and release the reset button.
The Palm Powered logo screen is displayed.
Release the POWER button.
3
A message warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your CLIÉ handheld is displayed.
Press the scroll button on the front panel of your CLIÉ
4
handheld upwards.
Your CLIÉ handheld undergoes a hard reset. After a hard reset, only the current date and time are retained. Formats,
Preferences, and other settings are restored to their factory default settings.
Note
If the scroll button was used just prior to hard-resetting, the hard-reset may not be performed.
