Time Zones and Events
Here are some important points to keep in mind when assigning a time zone to an event:
䢇
Palm Desktop software does not recognize time zones. If you sync with Palm Desktop
software, you can add time zones to your events, but the start and end times do not
change in Palm Desktop if you go to a different time zone.
䢇
If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can use the time zone feature, but you must install
the conduit that came with your Centro smart device by Palm (that is, you must install
the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD and select to sync with
Outlook) on all the computers you synchronize your device with. Chapura PocketMirror
and other earlier Microsoft Outlook conduits do not support time zones.
䢇
To automatically assign a time zone to your events, open the Options menu, select
Preferences , and check the New events use time zones box. All your new events are
assigned to your local time zone, and you can change this setting for individual events.
In addition, if you sync with Outlook and you select the time zone option on the
Calendar conduit sync screen, then time zones sync for any new events you create in
Outlook. Time zone settings are not added to any events that you created before you set
these time zone settings.
