Use Calendar to schedule appointments, including meetings and other events. Your appointments for the day can be displayed on the Today screen. If you use Outlook on your PC, you can synchronize appointments between your device and PC. You can also set Calendar to remind you of appointments with a sound or flashing light, for example.
