What happens to reminders if you delete the diary entry?

All reminders are always transferred from the ACCU-CHEK

Pocket Compass software to the calendar in the Palm OS.

Thus, you can retain a reminder even if you have deleted the related diary entry.

However, if you delete the entry from the Palm OS calendar, the reminder is automatically deleted from the diary.

What happens to reminders when you change the date and/or time in your handheld?

Do not change the date and time of your handheld without any reason if you have saved reminders.

By changing the date/time settings of your handheld, pend ing reminders are triggered at the wrong point in time or are mistakenly treated as already triggered.

Therefore, only change the date and time with good reason, or better still, when no more reminders are pending. If this is not possible:

1 Display the list of pending reminders before

changing the time setting (see page 83).

2 Write down the reminder times and reasons.

3 Then save again the reminders that are affected by the time change.
