Psion Teklogix netBook, 32M/64M manual Things to do first, Setting the time, date & the Home city

Things to do first!

This section describes what you need to do to set up your netBook. You should:

∙set the current time and date, so that you can use the Agenda programs and set alarms.

∙set your “Home city”, so that the netBook can display the correct time differences and dialling codes for other places in the World.

It is also a good idea to:

∙enter owner information, so that your netBook can be returned if you lose it.

∙set a password for your machine, so that other people cannot access your information.
