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”.

A submenu appears. The current selection is marked with
an asterisk.
3. If the desired format is not already selected, move to

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.
1. 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.
2. Select SET BOLD FONT and press ENTER .
All characters on the display will then appear in bold style.

way the actual information is stored or printed.
