My appointments show up in the wrong time slot after I sync

If you create an appointment in the wrong time zone (that is, your desktop was set to the wrong time zone), it shows up in the wrong time zone on your Centro. To be safe, enable local network time and avoid assigning time zones to your appointments.

If you’re using Microsoft Outlook:

1Make sure that you installed the Microsoft Outlook conduit that came with your Centro. If you’re not sure whether this software is installed, reinstall Palm Desktop software from the Getting Started CD that came with your Centro.

2Open Microsoft Outlook and correct the wrong entries.

3On your computer, manually enter any Calendar info you added to your Centro since the last time you synchronized.

4Click HotSync manager in the taskbar and select Custom.

5Select an application that has both Calendar and Outlook in its name.

6Click Change.

7Select Desktop overwrites handheld, and then click OK.

8Synchronize your Centro and your computer.

9Repeat steps 4 through 6 to open the Calendar Change HotSync Action dialog box again.

10Make sure Synchronize the files is selected and Set as default is checked, and then click OK.

You should now be able to assign time zones to your events without encountering this problem.

If you’re using Palm Desktop software:

1On your Centro, press Calendar .

2Press Menu .

3Select Options, and then select Preferences.

4Uncheck the New events use time zones box (if it’s checked).

5On your computer, open Palm Desktop software and correct the wrong entries.
