Setting Preferences for Your Handheld

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.

Note: This setting controls the Day, Week, and Month views in

Date Book and all other aspects of your handheld that
display a calendar.

4. Tap the Numbers pick list, and select formats for the decimal point

and thousands separator.

General preferences

The General Preferences screen enables you to set the auto shutoff
interval, alarm options, sounds for your handheld, and the Beam
Receive feature.

Auto-off delay

Your handheld has an automatic shutoff feature that turns off the
power and backlight after a period of inactivity. This feature helps
conserve battery power in case you forget to turn off your handheld.

If you find that your handheld shuts itself off before you finish
reviewing the information on the screen, you should increase the time
setting of the automatic shutoff feature.
