handheld

Entering data

There are five ways to enter data on your CLIÉ handheld. Select the one that
best suits you.

Hardware keyboard (page 37)

You can enter data using the hardware keyboard in the same way as with the
keyboard of your computer. This is useful when you want to enter lots of
data.

On-screen keyboard

You can enter data by tapping the keyboard that appears on the screen.

For details on entering data using the on-screen keyboard, refer to “Entering data in
your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld: Practicing entering data using the on-screen
keyboard” in the “Handbook.”

Software keyboard (page 46)

The working of the software keyboard is the same as the on-screen keyboard,
however the applications can be used without minimizing the current screen.

Graffiti

You can enter data using an exclusive input system called Graffiti

. Once

you get used to writing with Graffiti

, you will find that it is much faster than

using the on-screen keyboard.

For details on using Graffiti

, refer to “Entering data in your Sony CLIÉ™

handheld: Using Graffiti

writing to enter data” in the “Handbook.”

HotSync

operation with a computer

You can enter data using your computer keyboard with a HotSync

operation. Text data is transferred from your computer to your CLIÉ
handheld by a HotSync

operation using the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ

software.

For details, refer to the Help menu in the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software.
