TIP: Choose the time zone from the list that corresponds to where you
are. When you travel, use this dialog to change time zones. If you’re not
sure what time zone you are in, find out what time it is, and select the
time zone which shows the current new time.
Do not use the time zone dialog to switch between daylight saving time
and standard time. Use the Daylight Saving pick list.
The screen closes and the dates you selected are displayed in the Date &
Time screen.
To set daylight saving time:
1. Tap the Applications icon, then select Date & Time from the pick list
in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Tap on the Daylight Saving pick list to toggle this feature on or off.
To format the date, time, and numbers:
The Formats Preferences screen lets you choose a default country for your
device and also lets you set defaults for times, dates, and number formats.
When selecting a country and time, date, and number formats, keep the
following in mind:
When you select a country, the time, date, and number formats as
well as the week’s starting day are adjusted, For example, in
Germany, time often is expressed using a 24-hour clock and the
starting day of the week is Monday; in the United States, however,
time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix
and the starting day of the week is Sunday. You can customize your
own settings.
The Time setting defines the format for the time of day, which
appears in all applications on your pda phone.
To choose a country as default:
1. Tap the Applications icon; then tap the Prefs icon.
2. In the pick list in the upper right corner, tap Formats.
3. Tap the Preset To pick list, and tap a country name.
