Page 132 Setting Preferences for Your Handheld
Date & Time Preferences
The Date & Time Preferences screen enables you to set the time, date, time zone, and daylight
savings setting for your handheld. See the section that begins on page 19 for information on
changing these settings.
Digitizer Preferences
The Digitizer Preferences screen opens the digitizer calibration screen. This is the same screen
that appears when you start your handheld for the first time. You can recalibrate your screen after
a hard reset, or if your digitizer accuracy changes over time.
Formats Preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the display format of the
dates, times, and numbers on your handheld.
Country default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based on geographic
regions where you might use your handheld. For example, in the United Kingdom, time often is
expressed using a 24-hour clock. In the United States, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock
with an AM or PM suffix.
All your handheld applications use the Country default settings. See the next section in this
chapter for information on customizing these settings.
To set the country default:
1. Tap the country name pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use.
