Formats preferences

Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the display format of the dates, times, and numbers on your handheld computer.

Country default

The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based on geographic regions where you might use your handheld computer. For example, in the United Kingdom, time often is expressed using a 24-hour clock. In the United States, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix.
