Chapter1 Basic operations of 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 Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software or any other supported
personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft
® Outlook ® , 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 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.”
