Using peripheral devices
If the caution message that warns of low remaining battery power is displayed
while you use peripheral devices with your CLIÉ handheld, quit operating
them immediately and charge your CLIÉ handheld. If you continue operating,
data on your CLIÉ handheld’s memory may be lost.
When remaining battery power gets low
• When remaining battery power gets low, the caution message will be
displayed on the screen, and operations for “Memory Stick” media or
backlight adjustment become unavailable.
If this occurs, perform the HotSync
®
operation to make a backup of all the
data on your CLIÉ handheld to your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ
handheld using the USB cable 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 Battery Remain icon does not always reflect the actual remaining battery
power. To prevent the battery from 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 at
zero, connect your CLIÉ handheld to the AC power adapter and start
charging immediately. Never disassemble your CLIÉ handheld to take out
the battery.
Do not leave the Battery Remain icon reading at zero
If your battery drains and you leave your CLIÉ handheld in an uncharged state
for an extended period of time, all of the stored data will be erased. Sony
recommends that you charge your CLIÉ handheld frequently.
