Precautions Charging the internal power source To avoid losing data stored on your CLIÉ handheld, do not remove new batteries during the first 1 hour after inserting them. Your CLIÉ handheld has a small internal power source to maintain your data while you switch batteries. This internal power source is charged from the batteries when you first insert batteries into your CLIÉ handheld or when you insert new batteries after a long period of not using your CLIÉ handheld. Charging the internal power source takes about 1 hour. If you remove the batteries before the internal power source is charged, your CLIÉ handheld's memory will revert to the factory settings and any data you have entered will be lost. If batteries are leaking • Carefully wipe off any liquid in the battery compartment before inserting new batteries. • If battery leakage comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately. • If battery leakage comes in contact with your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes thoroughly with water and promptly seek medical attention. Battery life • With new alkaline batteries, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for approximately 20 days*. * Based on an average of 30 minutes use of PIMs per day, with the backlight off. • Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you use your CLIÉ handheld. • IF THE BATTERY IN YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD IS FULLY DISCHARGED OR REMOVED, ALL DATA STORED ON THE SDRAM (MEMORY) IS LOST. IN SUCH A CASE, PERFORMING A HOTSYNC® OPERATION ONCE THE BATTERIES ARE REPLACED CAN RESTORE BACKED UP INFORMATION SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER (FROM THE LAST HOTSYNC OPERATION) TO YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD. FOR DETAILS, SEE "BACKING UP DATA TO YOUR COMPUTER THROUGH A HOTSYNC® OPERATION" ON PAGE 184. Chapter 6 Additional information Continued on next page 196
