Setting up the date format

Almost all Organizer applications require a date to be entered at some point. The default format for date entry is

“MM/DD/YYYY”, where MM is the two-digit month, DD is the two-digit day of the month and YYYY is the four-digit year. The date will be displayed as “MMM DD, YYYY”, where MMM is the three-character abbreviation for the month name. However, you can choose instead to have the date entered in the format “DD.MM.YYYY”, which will then be displayed in the format “DD MMM YYYY”.

For example, in MM/DD/YYYY format, the date July 4th,

1996 will be entered as “ 7/ 4/1996” and displayed as “JUL

7, 1996”. However in DD.MM.YYYY format, the same date will be entered as “ 4. 7.1996” and displayed as “4 JUL

1996”.

Press MENU twice to display the PREFERENCES menu.

Select SET UP DATE FORMAT and press ENTER .

A submenu appears. The current selection is marked with an asterisk.

Selecting the Bold display font

Since the Organizer’s display is fairly small, you may find the displayed information easier to read if all characters appeared in a bold style, which is slightly thicker than normal.

Press MENU three times to display the TOOLS menu.

If bold font has not yet been selected, no ✓ will appear next to the menu item SET BOLD FONT.

Select SET BOLD FONT and press ENTER .

All characters on the display will then appear in bold style.
