CLIE Remote Commander setup
Assigning devices to the CLIE Remote Commander
To assign devices to your CLIÉ handheld, first check “Manufacturing companies supported by the CLIE Remote Commander application” to see whether the manufacturer of your remote-controlled device is supported by the CLIE Remote Commander application. Mode 1 for Sony products is selected for remote control setting by default.
You can assign up to four frequently used devices to the quick-start button to display control screen speedily. (See step 3 for details.)

On the CLIE Launcher screen, rotate the Jog Dial navigator to select CLIE RMC and press the Jog Dial navigator.
Or, tap the CLIE RMC icon on the CLIE Launcher screen.
