Step 1: Charging your Sony CLIE Handheld
Charging with the cradle
Note
Before you use your CLIE handheld for the first time, make sure to charge it.
Connect the supplied cradle to an AC power source in advance.
Charging will start as soon as you place your CLIE handheld on the
cradle. The battery icon in the screen changes to the battery charging
icon (
).
It takes about 4 hours for your CLIE handheld to be fully charged for
the first time. Subsequent charges, if it is charged frequently, will
require less time.
When you place your CLIE handheld on the cradle, the cradle
indicator turns on and charging starts.
When charging is completed
When you remove your CLIE handheld from the cradle, the battery
charging icon changes to the battery icon (
).
The cradle indicator remains on even after charging is complete.
Note on battery
If the battery in your CLIE handheld is fully discharged, all data stored on
the DRAM (memory) is lost. Performing another HotSync operation once the
battery is recharged can restore information saved from the last HotSync
operation.
