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. You
can, however, customize your own preferences. See the “Time, date,
week start, and numbers formats” section later in this chapter.
To set the country default:
1. Tap the country name pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use.
Time, date, week start, and numbers formats
The Time setting defines the format for the time of day. The time
format that you select appears in all applications on your handheld.
To select the time, date, week start, and numbers format:
1. Tap the Time pick list and select a format.
2. Tap the Date pick list and select a format.
3. Tap the Week starts pick list, and select whether you want the first
day of the week to be Sunday or Monday.
