Additional  
information  
This section describes how to solve common problems you may encounter when using  
your CLIÉ handheld.  
Preventing problems  
Making a backup is recommended  
We recommend that you make a backup of your data in case of any unexpected  
trouble. Backing up your data will ensure that it can be restored again on the  
CLIÉ handheld even when you have to perform a hard reset.  
Making a backup using the Memory Stick Backup  
application  
You can make a backup on the “Memory Stick” media using the supplied  
Memory Stick Backup application. This is the most convenient way to make a  
backup.  
b “Memory Stick” media (optional) is required.  
For details, refer to “Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld data” in the  
“Handbook.”  
®
Making a backup using a HotSync operation  
The data of your CLIÉ handheld is backed up on your computer every time you  
®
perform a HotSync operation. You will lose the data in your CLIÉ handheld  
®
when you perform a hard reset. But, if you make a backup with the HotSync  
operation, you can restore any data previously synchronized with your  
®
computer during the next HotSync operation.  
Note  
You cannot make a backup for some applications installed later or some data created with  
an application after installing. Specifically you cannot make backup of applications or  
data installed with beaming or “Memory Stick” media by synchronizing your computer  
to your CLIÉ handheld. Use “Memory Stick Backup” to make backup.  
74

Battery considerations  
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.  
Charging  
• It takes approximately 5 hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the  
battery is empty.  
• If you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few minutes to  
charge the battery.  
• You can operate your CLIÉ handheld while it is being charged.  
• Data stored in your CLIÉ handheld is retained by the battery. If the battery  
of your CLIÉ handheld is fully discharged, all data stored on the memory in  
your CLIÉ handheld will be lost. Sony recommends that you charge your  
CLIÉ handheld frequently.  
About the battery life  
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for  
approximately 11 days with a 30-minute operation each day, such as using  
Date Book without the backlight, if you do not use the audio playback  
function.  
• You can play music continuously for about 3 hours with the backlight on at  
the maximum level when the HOLD mode is not set.  
• You can play music continuously for about 4.5 hours when the HOLD mode  
is set.  
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you  
use your CLIÉ handheld, or applications used.  
bFor details about battery life, refer to “Specifications” on page 81 in this manual.

79  
 
Conserving the battery  
• Turn off the backlight under good lighting conditions.  
• Change the automatic power-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld  
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity.  
bFor details, refer to “Customizing your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld (Preferences):  
Setting the automatic power-off time” in the “Handbook.”  
• If you play audio files with Audio Player, the battery runs out faster.  
• When your CLIÉ handheld is turned off, avoid using the Bluetooth™ Wake  
Up function if your CLIÉ handheld does not need to be detected by another  
Bluetooth™ compatible device.  
bFor details, refer to “Customizing your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld (Preferences)”:  
“Setting the Bluetooth™ function”: “Viewing/Customizing Bluetooth™  
information” in the “Handbook.”  
Using peripheral devices  
If the caution message that warns of low battery-remaining is displayed while  
you use peripheral devices with your CLIÉ handheld, stop using them  
immediately and charge your CLIÉ handheld. If you continue operating, data  
in your CLIÉ handheld’s memory may be lost.  
When battery charge gets low  
• When battery charge gets low, a caution message appears on the screen, and  
operations for “Memory Stick” media or backlight adjustment become  
unavailable.  
®
If this occurs, perform a HotSync operation to make a backup of all the data  
of your CLIÉ handheld to your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ handheld  
using the cradle to prevent accidental data loss.  
• If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you slide down the POWER/  
HOLD switch, charge your CLIÉ handheld immediately.  
• The remaining battery indicator does not always reflect the actual battery  
power remaining. To prevent the battery running out accidentally, charge it  
frequently even when it is not fully discharged.  
• You do not have to replace batteries. When the Battery Remain icon reads  
zero, connect your CLIÉ handheld to the USB cable and start charging  
immediately. Never disassemble your CLIÉ handheld to take out the battery.  
Do not let the remaining battery indicator read 0  
If you leave your CLIÉ handheld in an uncharged state (the remaining battery  
indicator reads 0  
), all of the stored data will be erased. Sony  
recommends that you charge your CLIÉ handheld frequently.  
Others  
Your CLIÉ handheld may get warm if turned on for a long period. This is not  
malfunction.
