Step 3: Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ
Handheld
There are three ways to enter data into your CLIÉ handheld:
®
– Using Graffiti writing
– Using the onscreen keyboard
– Using your computer keyboard
Graffiti writing
Your CLIÉ handheld includes Graffiti writing application as the
primary system for entering text and numbers. With Graffiti writing,
you write simple strokes with the stylus and they are instantly
recognized as letters or numbers.
The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the
regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.
Graffiti writing examples:
A, B, C, D, and E
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 indicate the two areas.
Write letters

Write numbers here
Division marks
®
For details, see “Using Graffiti writing to enter data” in the Operating
Instructions manual.
Onscreen keyboard
When you use an application such as Date Book or Address Book, you
can open the onscreen alphabetic and numeric keyboards to enter data.
Tap here for
alphabetic keyboard
Tap here for numeric
keyboard
Continued on next page
29
Step 3: Entering data into your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
After a keyboard is open, you can tap to open any of the other
keyboards, including the international keyboard. For details, see
“Using the onscreen keyboard” in the Operating Instructions manual.

Numeric
International
Tap here to display numeric
keyboard
Tap here to display international
keyboard
Computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer
™
keyboard, you can use the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software or any
supported PIM (Personal Information Management) applications to
®
enter information. You can then perform a HotSync operation to
synchronize the 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 PIM applications, so you don't need to learn different
applications.
Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ online Help for more information
on entering data using your computer.
30
™
Step 4: Installing the Palm Desktop for
CLIÉ software on your computer
™
The Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software extends many of the functions
of your CLIÉ handheld to your computer, featuring the same main
applications as those on your CLIÉ handheld: Address Book, Date
Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can
®
use the HotSync Manager feature of this software to back up and
exchange data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer.
Notes
• Do not connect the cradle to a USB connector of your computer before
installing the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software. The installation of the software
might not be performed correctly.
• If you are already using a Sony CLIÉ Handheld (PEG-S300/S320/N610C/
N710C) or other Palm™ OS PDA device, and Palm Desktop software is
installed on your computer: uninstall it and reinstall the Palm Desktop for
CLIÉ software using the supplied Installation CD-ROM. For details, see
“Upgrading the existing Palm Desktop software” on page 34.
• The Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software supplied to this CLIÉ handheld
(PEG-T615C/T415) does not support Expense.
• Do not simply copy the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software files to your
computer’s hard disk. You must use the installer and follow the procedures
described in this section to place the files in their proper locations and to
decompress the files.
• To introduce the CLIÉ data of your old CLIÉ handheld into the new one, see
“Using data of another Sony CLIÉ Handheld” in the Operating Instructions
manual.

Upgrading the existing Palm Desktop software
Multiple versions of Palm Desktop software cannot be installed on one
computer. If an older version of Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software
already exists, it is recommended that you uninstall it prior to the new
installation. All handheld user data is preserved when upgrading the
Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software.
On Intellisync Lite
The Intellisync Lite software allows you to synchronize your Date
Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad data in your CLIÉ
®
handheld with the data of a variety of popular Windows applications
including:
– Microsoft Outlook 97/98/2000/2002
– Lotus Organizer 5.0/6.0
During a HotSync operation, the Intellisync Lite software compares
each record of information in your CLIÉ handheld to the information
stored in the PIM (Personal Information Management) applications,
and then makes necessary changes to both systems to make sure that
they both contain the same data.
34
Step 5: Connecting your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
and your computer via the cradle
The cradle that comes with your CLIÉ handheld enables you to
™
synchronize the information on your CLIÉ handheld with the Palm

device, is the one-step operation that allows you to synchronize data
between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer, and back up the
CLIÉ data on your computer. For details, see “Exchanging and
®
updating data using a HotSync operation” in the Operating
Instructions manual.
®
When performing a HotSync operation for the first time, you have to
enter your user information both into your CLIÉ handheld and into the
Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software. After the user name is recognized,
you do not have to enter the same information again.
Press the HotSync
button on the cradle.

The USB Driver Installation Wizard starts automatically.
When the New User dialog box is displayed on your
computer screen, select the user name.
Select the same user name you entered in step 8 on page 33.
Note
Every handheld should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a user’s
records, never try to synchronize more than one handheld to the same user
name.
36
Click OK on your computer screen.
3
A beep sounds and the HotSync operation starts. When the HotSync
process is complete, a message showing the HotSync operation
completion is displayed on your CLIÉ handheld.
Notes
• Do not remove or move your CLIÉ handheld from the cradle during a
HotSync operation.
• Do not push the HotSync button during a HotSync operation. It might
cause errors and quitting of the operation.
• Do not enter power saving mode during a HotSync operation. If your
