Working in Month view

The Month View screen shows which days have events scheduled.
Dots and lines in the Month view indicate events, repeating events,
and untimed events.

information.

Tips for using Month view

• Tap a day in the Month view to display that day in the Day

view, or tap the scroll arrows in the lower-right corner to
move forward or backward a month. Or tap Go To to open
the date selector and select a different month.

• You can also use the Page buttons to change the displayed

month, and Rocker Up and Down to highlight a different
day. Pressing Rocker Enter changes to the Day view for the
selected day.
