My appointments show up in the wrong
time slotafter 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 yourCentro. If you’re not sure
whether this software is installed,
reinstall PalmDesktop 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.
10 Make 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
thisproblem.
