The functions of the Calculator buttons
The calculator has several buttons to help you perform calculations.
CEClears the last number you entered. 
Use this button if you make a mistake while entering 
numbers. This button enables you to re-enter the number 
without starting the calculation again.

the number and then tap the +/– button.

total value stored in the memory. The number to be added 
can be either a calculated value or the number you entered 
by pressing the number buttons. 
Pressing this button has no effect on the current 
calculation (or series of calculations); it merely places the 
value into the memory until it is recalled.

Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld data
You can create backup of your CLIÉ handheld data by one of the following 
methods:
 Back up data to your computer through a HotSync
® operation

When the HotSync® operation is performed, the backup data is compared with 
the data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective. If you perform 
a hard reset, all data stored in your CLIÉ handheld is erased and the initial 
status will be restored. In this case, you can restore the backup data from your 
computer that was created through the previous HotSync
® operation.
Notes
 The following applications or data cannot be backed up with a HotSync® operation.
– Applications or data transferred from a “Memory Stick” media or beamed
– Certain applications or driver files added later, or certain data in an application
For details on applications that cannot be backed up, refer to the manual of each 
application.
When you want to make a complete backup, use the Memory Stick Backup 
application.

able to create a back up file. You cannot back up an application or restore its data if an 
option other than “Synchronize the files” is selected. For details, refer to “Customizing
