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, on the other
hand, 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 as described in “Time,
date, week start, and numbers formats” 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.
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.
