The Clock Application

The unit’s built-in clock makes it possible not only to know the correct time and date in your area, but also to know the time in other cities or any region around the world. The Clock is used as the reference time by the Calendar, Schedule, and To Do applications. In addition to these features, daylight saving time (DST) can be enabled for any city you designate, for those countries that use an annual Daylight Saving Time adjustment.

As an aid to international business and travel, the Organizer is set to display the time in any other city you choose (called the World City) as well as your own city (the Local City). In addition, the Organizer comes with a pre- defined list of countries and cities. If the city you want is not in the pre-defined list, you can add your own User-defined city by specifying the city name, country and time relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) (see p.130).

To view the Clock, simply press CLOCK .
